Schools in the U. S.

• American Elementary School

At the age of five, U. S. children begin elementary school. At elementary school they learn the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic, as well as history, geography, crafts, music, and physical education. They attend elementary school for five years and then go to middle school.

(2)__________________________________

Students start middle school at the age of 11. Middle school is 3 years – 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Some students go to Junior High School which is also three years – 7th, 8th and 9th grade. They’ve got both compulsory and elective classes. Compulsory subjects are maths, English, social science (a subject that combines history, government and geography) and natural science (i. e. chemistry, biology, anatomy and physiology, physics). Students can also choose some elective subjects that they like such as foreign languages, band, home economics, chorus and art.

After middle school or junior high, the students go to high school. The last grade of high school is 12th grade. If students go to middle school, high school is 4 years (9th, 10th, 11th and 12th). If students go to junior high, high school is three years (10th, 11th and 12th). Compulsory courses may include English, mathematics, foreign language, physical education, art, music, natural sciences, and social studies. However, students can still choose the level of their classes and elective subjects with the help of their parents and a school guidance counselor. Students receive a diploma after they graduate from high school. Then American students may go to college or university.
