The American Education System Justin Cubilo

Types of Schools • Kindergarten • A program or class for four-year-old to six-year-old children that serves as an introduction to school. • Public School • An elementary or secondary school in the United States supported by public funds and providing free education for children of a community or district. • Elementary School • A school for the first four to eight years of a child's formal education, often including kindergarten. • Secondary School • A school that is intermediate in level between elementary school and college and that usually offers general, technical, vocational, or college-preparatory curricula.

Types of Schools (cont.) • Prep School • A usually private secondary school that prepares students for college. • Charter School • A public school operated independently of the local school board, often with a curriculum and educational philosophy different from the other schools in the system. • Boarding School • A school where pupils are provided with meals and lodging. • Vocational High School • A school that offers instruction and practical introductory experience in skilled trades such as mechanics, carpentry, plumbing, and construction

Types of Schools (cont.) • Community College • A junior college without residential facilities that is often funded by the government. • Home School • A school operated outside established educational institutions, especially in a home. • College/University • An institution for higher learning with teaching and research facilities constituting a graduate school and professional schools that award master's degrees and doctorates and an undergraduate division that awards bachelor's degrees

College vs. University • What is the difference between the usage of college and university? • Nothing. The only difference is that college is used more often in American English while university is used more often in British English. • What is the difference between a community college and a college/university? • Community colleges generally only offer a two year degree at the end of which they get an associate’s degree. They also prepare students to go off to a university where they can earn their bachelor’s degree.

The American School System • Fill out the graphic organizer with the information that you are presented with. • Each box represents a new progression through the school system.

Example: • Nursery School/Kindergarten: • Transition from home to formal schooling • Children are taught to develop basic skills through creative play and social interaction • Generally for children between the ages of 4 and 6.

Elementary School • Generally for students between kindergarten and fifth-grade. • Children are taught the basics of reading and writing. • These skills are continuously developed. • Social studies, science, math, English are integrated into the school day.

Middle School/Junior High • Serve as a “bridge” between elementary school and high school. • Junior High generally includes grades 7 and 8 • Middle school generally includes grades 6, 7, and 8 • The terms are often interchangeable • Students are taught in an interdisciplinary approach by several teachers who teach the same group of students. • Students learn about the same topic from the perspective of different disciplines • Courses begin to target

This leads into two possibilities • High School • Vocational High School

High School • Educates students from grades 9 through 12 • Subclassed as general high schools, vocational high schools, or preparatory high schools. • Most are general high schools • Offer college preparatory classes for advanced students as well as general education classes. • High school curriculums vary by state. • Students have a little more freedom in what classes the take.

Vocational High School • Generally considered to be “post-secondary schools” • Exist to teach job-specific skills. • Considered as institutions devoted to training. • Examples of vocations that training is given for: • Car mechanics • Electricians • Plumbers

University/College • Institution of higher education and research. • Grants degrees in many subjects. • Offers undergraduate and postgraduate education. • Organized into a number of academic schools or colleges. • i.e. Arts and Letters, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences • Students pay tuition and fees in order to attend. • A great deal of flexibility in courses that can be taken to fulfill requirements.

Professional School/Postgraduate School • Schools that are attended after the Bachelor’s degree has been earned. • One generally goes to a postgraduate school in order to get a Master’s degree or PhD in a subject that is normally related to their undergraduate major. • Professional schools refer to medical school, law school, pharmacy school, etc. • These schools train a student in a specific area.
