When I searched for boarding schools, no. Schools like in Zoey 101 don't exist. The people who create the boarding schools don't place is somewhere where the kids will goof off and go to the beach, mine is on a mountain because they don't think we'll goof off because there's nothing to do (but we always find a way around that!) plus, if you're really serious about it, do your own research, don't post questions on forums.

Look at Stevenson and Cate in California. Tabor in MA and St. Georges in RI have an affiliation with the Episcopal church. However, there is no attempt to convert you into a member of the church, and all faiths or no faith are welcome. I heard that there is a boarding school in Hawaii, but I don't remember its name. Look at www.boardingschoolreview.com.

School in the USA - Can someone explain

School in the USA - Can someone explain?
Can someone please explain to me how the education system works in the USA? I live in the UK and will explain how it works here in the hope that someone can explain to me how the system works in the USA in comparison? Children start school aged 4 or 5 (Depending when their birthday falls). At this age, they go into Primary 1 (or P1) then; Start P2 aged 5-6 Start P3 aged 6-7 Start P4 aged 7-8 Start P5 aged 8-9 Start P6 aged 9-10 Start P7 Aged 10-11 After P7 is complete, the child will leave Primary School and go onto Secondary School / High School aged 11 or 12, again depending on when their Birthday falls. They then stay in Secondary School until age 18, but they can choose to leave from the age of 16 if they wish. If someone could explain how the system differs that would be much appreciated.

We start kindergarden at 4-5, also depending on birthdays but the parent gets to chose, there is a window. Then after that (k), 1st through 6th grade, all of this is called Elementary school. Middle schools is the next two year, 7th and 8th grade, which usually is it's own institution. We have no GCSE's or A-levels, we continue on to another block of four years before college. 9th grade (Freshman year) 10th grade (Sophomore), 11th (Junior) and 12th (Senior). Then you go on to college if you wish, where a Bachelors degree is 4 years, typically you start this at 18.

Most teens enter the 9th grade (freshmen) at age 14. Credits are earned by successfully passing courses and students progress to grade 10 (sophomore), then grade 11 (junior) and finally grade 12 (Senior). Usually seniors graduate at between 17 and 19 years of age. Depending upon how early they started school. The school day ranges from school district to school district. Mine starts at 7:45 am and ends at 3:15 pm. We have 4 periods a day that average 95 minutes each. Most schools serve lunch. In american, financially disadvantaged kids apply for and receive free lunch. Some progressive school districts have "open" lunch which allows students to leave campus and visit restaurants.
4 :
1. 13/14 2. high school is four years 3. our school starts at 7:40 till 3:00 Students eat lunch in school. Most high schools are closed campus. Meaning the students may not leave school for lunch. To leave school for any reason takes a phone call or note from a parent.
