Before Reading Background Information

Overview of the American Education System Primary school American children start school at the age of five

years. The first year at school is called kindergarten. The second year at school is considered the first year of primary school and is referred to as first grade. In America, the word grade has two meanings: (1) the score achieved on an exam or in a course, and (2) a year of education in primary or secondary school. Primary school most commonly consists of five years of education, referred to as first through fifth grades.

Page 5: The Teddy Stoddard Story Unit 2 Text 1. Teaching Objectives  Practice reading and talking about issues on teacher-student relationship;  Discuss how

Secondary school Upon completion of fifth grade (the last year of

primary school), American children advance to secondary school. Secondary school most commonly consists of a total of seven years, referred to as sixth through twelfth grades. The ninth through twelfth grades are most commonly referred to as high school. Upon completion of twelfth grade, American students are awarded a certificate called the high school diploma.

Page 6: The Teddy Stoddard Story Unit 2 Text 1. Teaching Objectives  Practice reading and talking about issues on teacher-student relationship;  Discuss how

Undergraduate school Students who have completed high school and

would like to attend college or university must attend what is referred to as an undergraduate school. These are schools that offer either a two-year degree (called an associate degree) or a four-year degree (called a bachelor’s degree) in a specific course of study. That course of study is called the major. While most schools that offer a four-year degree will admit students who have not yet chosen a major, all students are required to select (or declare) a major by their second year at school. Students who complete an associate degree can continue their education at a four-year school and eventually complete a bachelor degree.

Page 7: The Teddy Stoddard Story Unit 2 Text 1. Teaching Objectives  Practice reading and talking about issues on teacher-student relationship;  Discuss how

Graduate school Students who have obtained a bachelor’s degree

can continue their education by pursuing one of two types of degrees. The first is a master’s degree. This is usually a two-year degree that is highly specialized in a specific field. Students who want to advance their education even further in a specific field can pursue a doctorate degree, also called a PhD. A PhD degree can take between three and six years to complete, depending on the course of study chosen, the ability of the student, and the thesis that the student has selected.
