The educational structure

Primary and secondary school

Before higher education, American students attend elementary and high school for a combined total of 12 years. These years are known as the period from first grade to twelfth grade.

At about the age of six, American children begin elementary school, which is commonly referred to as "elementary school." They attend this school for five or six years and then go on to high school.

Secondary schools are made up of two programs: the first is called “middle school” or “junior high school” (middle school) and the second program is “high school” (secondary school). At graduation from high school, a diploma or certificate is awarded. Upon graduation from high school (twelfth grade), American students can go on to college or university. Studies at a college or university are known as "higher education."

Grading system

Like American students, you will need to submit your transcripts as part of your application for admission to a university or college. Transcripts are official copies of your academic work. In the United States, this includes your grades and your grade point average, or GPA, which are measures of your academic achievement. Courses are typically graded using percentages, which are then converted to letter grades.

The grading system and GPA in the United States can be confusing, especially for foreign students. The interpretation of ratings has a lot of variation. For example, two students who have attended different schools submit their transcripts to the same university. They both have 3.5 GPAs, but one of them attended an average high school, while the other attended a prestigious school, with rigorous academic programs. The college may interpret your GPAs differently since the two schools have radically different standards.

Therefore, there are some fundamental aspects to consider:

You will need to find out the US equivalent of the last level of education you completed in your home country.

Pay particular attention to the admission requirements of each university and college, as well as individual degree programs, which may have different requirements from those of the university.

Meet regularly with an educational advisor or guidance counselor to make sure you are meeting the requirements.

Your education advisor or advisory advisor will be able to advise you on whether or not you should spend an additional year or two preparing for admission to an American university. If a foreign student entered a US university or college before meeting the requirements to attend university in their own country, governments and employers in some countries may not recognize the student's US education.

Academic year

The general academic calendar begins in August or September and continues through May or June. Most new students start in the fall; that is why it is a good idea for international students to also begin their university studies in the United States at that time. Much excitement is generated at the beginning of the academic year and students form many great friendships during this time as they adjust to a new stage in their academic life. Additionally, many courses are designed for students to take sequentially, beginning in the fall and continuing throughout the year.

The academic year in many schools is made up of two periods called "semesters." (Some schools use a three-period calendar known as a “trimester” system.) Still others further divide the year into the four-period trimester system, which includes an optional summer term. Basically, if we do not include the summer term, the academic year consists of two semesters or three trimester terms
