High school
High School is a term used to describe an educational institution where secondary education is provided. It follows elementary or middle school, and may be followed by higher education such as college or vocational training.
Overview[edit | edit source]
High school is a critical phase in the education system that prepares students for either higher education or the workforce. The curriculum in a high school includes a broad range of subjects from math, science, social studies, and English, to optional courses like foreign languages, arts, and physical education.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The structure of high school varies widely around the world. In some countries, high school represents grades 9-12, while in others it may represent grades 10-12. The age at which students typically attend high school also varies by country.
Curriculum[edit | edit source]
The curriculum in high school is designed to provide a broad education across a range of subjects. This includes compulsory subjects such as English, math, science, and social studies, as well as elective subjects that students can choose based on their interests and future career plans.
High School Diploma[edit | edit source]
Upon successful completion of high school, students are awarded a high school diploma. This diploma is a prerequisite for admission to most colleges and universities, and is often required for many jobs.
