Structure of U.S.A.

Education
I going to talk about the structure of U.S.A. education:
The education in the United States of America follows a similar model to that in
many systems. Early childhood or preschool education is followed by elementary school
(called primary school in Argentina), middle school, high school (called secondary school
in our country), and then postsecondary (or tertiary) education.
Preschool is called by several names: nursery and kindergarten are the most
common.
Primary or elementary education ranges from grade 1 to grades 4-7, depending
on state and school district policy.
Middle school is an intermediate school: upper primary or lower secondary. This
level serves pre-adolescent and young adolescent students.
Secondary or high schools enroll students in the upper grades, generally 9-12
with variations.
Heads of public primary and secondary schools are called principals, while the
heads of private schools may be called principals, headmasters, or heads of school.
These institutions have other administrative staff in addition to teachers and teaching
assistants. There may be librarians, computer specialists, school nurses and food service
staff.
Postsecondary career and technical education schools provide vocational
training leading to certificates and diplomas below degree level. The vast majority of this
schools are private. Postsecondary education also includes six-degree levels: associate,
bachelor, first professional, master, advanced intermediate, and research doctorate.
In the U.S.A., also exist alternative schools. Traditional public and private schools
are not the only recognized types of this education system. Three types can be
mentioned: Charter Schools, Magnet Schools and Home Schooling.
Today, there is a popular interest in home schooling, and over 1 million students
receive home schooling annually. It is usually performed by parents and there is an
extensive array of services, materials, and resources to assist homeschooling parents
and children. Qualified home school graduates are recognized as school graduates by
the states and may be admitted to U.S. higher education institutions.
