Well it seems that what you call high school starts at where we call junior high.
People here, college bound or not, go to a minimum of 12 years of schooling. Most also go to 1/2 day kindergarden and many go to pre-school before that.
Now, my question. I know you do A-levels if you are college bound, but I never actually got a grip on what it means. What types of courses? What type of exam afterward (I always hear of 'passing the A-levels)
I've got English, Irish and Scot friends over here, and over there, but I've always been afraid I'd look stupid if I asked. I don't mind online anonymous stupid.
