In the USA the ages for compulsory education vary from state to state.
?In most states combulsorv education starts when children are 5 and continues until they are 16-18 depending on the state. Today a growing number of states are requiring compulsory education until the age of 18.?Compulsory education is divided into two levels: elementary school?and high school.?The first vear of elementarv school is called Kindergarten and here pupils do various activities, learn the alphabet and how to play with other children. After Kindergarten there are five or six years of schooling called grades. In elementary schools pupils are taught basic subjects like English (spelling, vocabulary and grammar), Arithmetic and Physical Education.?High school generally consists of six years of schooling and goes from the 7th grade up to the final 12th grade. When pupils complete the 12th grade, they receive a High School Diploma, since there is no final examination as in many other countries. Students take a large variety of subjects without special emphasis in any particular subject. The subjects that are required in nearly all US high schools are English, Mathematics, Science, Social Sciences and Physical Education. Students can also choose from among a list of other subjects called 'electives' like Computer Studies, Art, Music, Foreign Languages and Driving, just to mention a few. Credits are given for each course and more credits are given for the more difficult courses.?Post-secondary education in the USA is known as college or university and commonly consists of four years of study at an institution of higher learning. There are about 4,400 colleges and universities in the country.?Schools differ in their reputation; generally, the most prestigious schools are private, rather than public. In the USA there are a number of very famous and prestigious universities like Harvard, Yale, Princeton and so on. They are usually very expensive so students try and get scholarships otherwise they ask for student loans and look for part-time jobs to support themselves.

In American education students are evaluated by marks or grades from A, the best, to F, the worst. Each year is also called grade so it is easy to calculate which grade a student is in from their age: for example, at 12 they are in grade 6, at 16 they are in grade 10 and so on. In high school, students in their first vear are called freshmen, in their second vear sophomores, in their third year juniors, and in their last year seniors.
The school day starts at around 8 a.m. in the morning and finishes at around 3.30 p.m. There is no school on Saturdays. Students do not have to wear uniforms except in some private schools but there is a strict dress code nonetheless. No very short skirts or very low necklines are allowed and neither is piercing or tattoos. Lunch is served in the school cafeteria or alternatively students bring their own lunch from home.
In US schools there are many extra-curricular activities like team sports, drama groups, Bible-study groups and societies ranging from the Chess Club to the Society Against Drunken Driving (SADD). Team sports play an important part in American education. They contribute to transmit values like teamwork, self-discipline, sportsmanship and also social and racial integration.
