    In America all Children from six to sixteen go to school. The system of   
   school differs from the system in some countries. Traditionally it consists of   
   an eight-year elementary school, followed by a four-year high school (8-4 plan   
   organization). But there are some other variations in the states. It can be a   
   six-year elementary school, followed by a three-year junior high school and   
   then a three-year senior high school. Another variation is a six-year   
   elementary school, followed by a six-year secondary school.   
      
    Elementary education begins at the age of six with the first grade and   
   continues to the eight grade. Attendance is compulsory in most states until   
   the age of sixteen or until the student has finished the 8th grade.   
      
    The programm of studies in the elementary school is different in different   
   schools. It includes English, arithmetic, geography, the history of the USA.   
   Physical training, singing, drawing and handwork, work are often taught.   
   Sometimes a foreign language and the general history are begun.   
      
    The elementary schools are usually small. The high schools are generally   
   larger and combine students from four or five elementary schools.   
      
    The elementary school is followed by four or six years of the secondary   
   school or higher school as it is called. Admission to the American high school   
   is automatic after finishing the elementary school.   
      
    In American high schools there are two kinds of school subjects: subjects   
   which are compulsory for all students, that is all students must learn them.   
   These subjects are English, physical education, social science. But there are   
   also elective subjects. These are the subjects which some students learn and   
   others do not learn, if they do not like them, or think that they do not need   
   them. Among elective subjects are mathematics, physics, chemistry, foreign   
   languages, history and many others.   
      
    At the end of every school year, the child takes a test. If he does well, he   
   goes into the next class ("grade"). If he doesn't do well, he has to repeat   
   the grade. American children finished school without any examinations.   
      
    At the end of their school, most students get a high school diploma and can   
   enter college or the University.   
      
    In state-supported public schools, the education is free, private elementary   
   schools and private secondary schools are fee-paying. Each individual state   
   has its own system of public school. Some schools have modern teaching   
   equipment, like computers and closed circuit television.   
      
    Many Americans go on to institutions of higher education when they leave   
   school. If they want to go on to college or university, they often take   
   college admission tests.   
      
    A student may study many interesting subjects at college, in short or long   
   courses, but if he wants to get a degree, he has to study for at least four   
   years. Thus it usually takes four years to get a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor   
   of Science degree. A master of Arts or Master of Science degree may be   
   obtained in one or two additional years. The highest academic degree is one or   
   two additional years. The highest academic degree is the Doctor of Philosophy.   
   It may take any number of years to finish the original research work necessary   
   to obtain this degree.
