Yeah - we graduate at 18. 2 years of Kindergarten, 12 years of regular school, and 4 years of actual life = 18 or 17 🙂 I came straight home after graduation and watched the NBA Western Conference finals. Dallas lost - so disappointing ☹ Cheers! Kirupa :ub: ---

We do 2 years at infant school, 4 years of junior then 5 years of secondary. After that you can leave at 16 or carry on to 18 at secondary school/ college. Then you can leave at 18 or go on to University, generally for another three years. Then there’s a Masters course of a year after that if you want it, and a Doctorate… 🙂 ---

I only had one year of kindergarten, I thought that’s how it worked in America. Although I guess it could be different from state to state. ---

1. It’s kindergarTen. I’m guessing it doesn’t have much to do with a garden :). 2. The US state doesn’t require kids to go to school until kindergarten, but many parents put their kids in 4 yr old kindergarten which gives the parents a break from the annoying little kids and lets their kids have a head start on reading and all that fun stuff.
