So, you have your core classes (math, english, science, social studies). Those are the only ones really required. You can pick everything else. However, since it'll be your last year of high school, you'll also need to take classes to fulfill the graduation requirements for that school. For example, I have to take health before I can graduate. So, after including those requirements, everything left is your choice. As far as lunch goes, it depends on the school rules. Most high schools have open campus for 11 and 12 grades, so they can either stay at school OR go out for lunch. For sports, you have to pass the tryouts. Dates would be posted around the school or on the website. So, you just show up and do your best...and hope that the coach thinks you're good enough to be on the team. If the coach says you're on the team, then you can play in all the tournaments and games. Eh, I can't really answer your last question there. I don't live anywhere near there.

The guy above isn't fully right as each district have different classes that you have to attend , but English , math and science are compulsory. At lunch you eat of course and relax as this your break to socialize and prepare yourself for the next class. The deal on sports is that you pick which sport you would like to play and judging on what you have said in the text you like tennis. now to be able to play tennis you must be eligible to play as this requires your grades to be at a reasonable level and if you fall below this level you will not be able to play until you've passed it or are on it .

HS here can be different. Our HS is on the block system and only has four classes a day. Other HS can have 8 classes a day. Lunch is at school. Most HS campuses are closed. Meaning you can not leave till the end of the school day, and anyone coming in must be checked in at the main office. This is mainly for security. Most sports teams you must try out for. If you make the tennis team, you would do tournaments. If you go to a public school, you will have to go to the HS whose boundaries you live in. You don't get a choice of which public HS to go to. If you know where you are going to live, you can find out what HS you are going to and see if they have a web site. Many HS do. Some subject you must take- like english all four years. Others you will have a choose of. Like taking a foreign language. Any sports team would be an after school activity. School days differ. But you should start school around 7:30 am and go till 2:30/3 pm.

Where should I go to high school? England or USA
Where should I go to high school? England or USA?
Im 13 at the moment and next year I'll be starting high school I am so scared because I dont know where I want to go. My parents gave me a few options and said I should pick whatever one I like. I live in Arizona, USA and I can either go to a high school there but its a private high school but a boy&girl one. I would be a day student and could live at home. The second option is a boarding school. It's called 'Stowe' and its in Buckingham, England. Its also a boy&girl one. The reson WHY this school is because my dad is Italian, but he moved to England when he was 11 and thats the school he went to before he came to the US and he said it he had the time of his life. I like both! If I stayed in Arizona, I would still be able to always be with my family and friends BUT if I moved to England I would have a whole new experience the only thing is I would be so far away from my family. I would see my grandparents in london a lot, but would only go back to the USA on holidays so I wont see my parents and friends often and I know I will miss them so much:( I really need advice. If you were in my position, what would you pick? Im so scared to make the wrong decision:(

You should try them all. Try a year in england, try a year in America.. see what you like. You'll be surpirsed what your preference is. I went to private school from middle school until my sophmore year. And I always thought it was "laid back" (My school was laid back, rules-wise because they trusted the students) and I transfered to a public school because of finance issues and people complain about how horrible the public school was and i ended up liking the people there more than in my old school because i was able to relate to them more and had more fun. I would go with England first just because i always wanted to go to England but I would try a variety and not just pick one.

Definitely England. You'd get qualifications (GCSEs) at 16 and further qualifications, which are optional, at 18 called A Levels. The English school system is very good and you get to choose your subjects for GCSE at the age of 14 (Year 10). Core: Maths, English, Core Science, PE (no qualification given), IT You can choose any three subjects from here if your school offers them: Art, Drama, Music, Dance, GCSE PE, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Triple Science, GCSE IT, Business Studies, Childcare, Leisure and Tourism, Geography, Philosophy and Ethics, History We had to choose a Technology subject for our 4th option, but other schools may require humanities, science, a creative subject or a language. Tech: Electronics, Food Technology, Resistant Materials (woodworks and metal), Textiles, Graphics Your school year will be split up into three terms and separated into half terms. These are: Autumn Term: Sept - Dec Spring Term: Jan - April Summer Term: May - July There are one week half-term holidays and two week half-term holidays. From July - Sept, there is a 6 weeks summer holiday. England doesn't have high schools as I am aware of, but you are most likely going to a secondary school for people between the ages of 11-16 or 11-18 depending on if it has a sixth form. Some schools may have High School in their name, but they're not actually high schools. No prom here. :) Or at least the Year 11 and Sixth Form proms are optional... they probably are in the US too but I've never enjoyed the idea of a prom or homecoming, but that's just me.

I would go for europe public schools in the US suck if I was given the choice and could do it all over again I would go to europe

England would be fun, but I think you need to consider some things. #1. Do you make friends easily? #2. Have you spent time away from family before? If so how did you react in that situation? #3. Do you easily get home sick? How you answer these can tell you if you should go to England. Good luck darling :)
