A small number of schools offer part-time programs, evening courses, or correspondence education. The first-year programs for students in both academic and commercial courses are similar.
They include basic academic courses, such as Japanese language, English, mathematics, and science. In upper-secondary school, differences in ability are first publicly acknowledged, and course content and course selection are far more individualized in the second year.
However, there is a core of academic material throughout all programs. Vocational-technical programs includes several hundred specialized courses, such as information processing, navigation, fish farming, business, English, and ceramics. Most upper-secondary teachers are university graduates. Upper-secondary schools are organized into departments, and teachers specialize in their major fields although they teach a variety of courses within their disciplines.
Teaching depends largely on the lecture system, with the main goal of covering the very demanding curriculum in the time allotted. Approach and subject coverage tends to be uniform, at least in the public schools. Training of disabled students, particularly at the upper-secondary level, emphasizes vocational education to enable students to be as independent as possible within society. Vocational training varies considerably depending on the student's disability, but the options are limited for some.
It is clear that the government is aware of the necessity of broadening the range of possibilities for these students. Advancement to higher education is also a goal of the government, and it struggles to have institutions of higher learning accept more students with disabilities.
It is to ensure that students develop the academic ability of the five major subjects required to take the examination at a national and public university. Being an ever-evolving educator is our philosophy. We believe that our education is always to challenge our personal best without fear of failure. We teach basic knowledge and skills. We develop the thinking, judgment, and expressive ability necessary to solve problems by utilizing knowledge and skills.
We aim to develop students who can understand the appeal of English as an academic through classes and realize that they have developed the ability to express themselves in English.
We encourage the students to constantly think about why this happens rather than listen to classes passively through math classes. By implementing active learning from junior high school, students will improve their presentation skills and acquire logical thinking for themselves. We aim to deepen Japanese skills as the basis of all subjects.
By each class working closely together, the students acquire persistence to solve problems, expressiveness to convey learning to others, and attitude to learn by themselves.
The 1st year learn the geography field, the 2nd year learn the history field, and the 3rd year learn the history field and the civil field.
Also, from the 1st year, the students study, summarize, and make a presentation using newspapers. English Site for our Junior High School. We look forward to your success in our school. Logical Thinking Students discover problems, make hypotheses, and validate them.
Global Course a course for students who grew up overseas Students in the global course take English classes separately from the other students, but take other subjects with them.
Global Education Study-abroad program in Asia for junior high school students third grade :. Day 3 Move to Malaysia Interact with students from a Malaysian school.
New Zealand We have long-term one-year and short-term two-week programs for studying abroad in New Zealand. Malta Malta is a small Mediterranean island nation south of Sicily, Italy. A Stage-Based Approach to Support Students For six years between the ages of 13 and 18, when mental ability and body grow significantly, education according to the stage of development is essential.
Guidance in School Courses Education according to the stage of development Students make a hypothesis and verify it. This usually happens when a foreign child enrolls in a Japanese public school because it is hard for them to understand everything in Japanese.
Compulsory education in Japan lasts from the 1st grade of Elementary School to the 3rd year of Junior High School 9 years in total. International schools in Japan follow the system of each country however, Japanese public schools and private schools follow the same system.
For more information, please read Japanese education system and which school is the best for your child. For more details, please visit UK government information website.
For more details, please refer to the department of education of the state you would like to know. Japanese vs. While it's good to know technical definitions, colloquial ones are probably more helpful for trying to understand what British people actually mean when they talk about public vs. In my experience, a "private school" is a generic term for a school that you pay to attend.
These can be subdivided into "public schools", which are large in terms of grounds size and number of pupils, are usually boarding schools, are well-known nationally and have a reputation for producing what we'd call "toffs" - posh, snooty, upper-class people - although of course this is a stereotype.
For example, Eton, Rugby and Harrow. However a "private school" may also mean an "independent school", which is much smaller and will probably only be known locally. However, "grammar schools" are a special class of state school at which the teaching is generally considered to be of a standard equal to or better than private schools. If the school you went to was a state-funded non-grammar, you'd probably just say you went to a state school or a local comprehensive; if you went to grammar school, you'd definitely say so.
A prep aratoy school is usually a term for a private primary school, which usually goes up to age 13, as many public schools begin at age 13 rather than age 11 independents, grammars and other state schools will usually begin at age You'll still see this numbering in a lot of traditional private schools but many such as mine are moving more towards the Year 1, Year 2 numbering system so that when we talk to people in other schools they actually understand what year we're in.
I think the traditional way is better though. Hope this is useful to someone! But in my hometown Elementary school is k-4 Middle school is 5 and 6, Junior High school 7 and 8, and then High School And there are about 5 elementary schools and then only one of each of the other 3.
Mainly because of over crowding is why they have a separate middle and junior high. I thought I'd add something people might find interesting about becoming a doctor of medicine in UK. From my understanding in US you have to do a bachelors first as a pre-med and then enter medical school afterwards? In UK Medicine and surgery is a degree in itself which people enter after completing A-Levels they study it at university and it takes 5 years in most universities.
Some universities offer a 2part degree where students do 3 years pre-clinical and then apply again to do 3 years clinical, this tends to be offered by more 'traditional' universities such as Oxford or Cambridge. At Liverpool university where I study we spend 4 years at unversity our final exams are in 4th year and we spend 5th year in hospital we become doctors when we pass our prescribing test and our SJT.
Lynne mentioned that in Canada we say "Grade N" rather than "Nth grade". To add to the difference in naming, we don't use the terms freshman, sophomore, etc. University students say they're in "first year", "second year", etc. He was confused, because to him, only a teacher can write a test e.
He said Americans would only ever use "take a test". I don't think "take" sounds odd in that context, but I don't think I'd ever use it. Is it just me, or is that a widespread difference between Canadian and American English? Also, where would the Brits fit in? Do they always "sit" their exams, or do they also "write" or "take" them? Just to add to what dev said about the Scottish Education system, the high school years are now officially S1, S2, S3 etc.
My children are currently in S4, but if I accidentally say "fourth year" to them, as it was in my day, they remind me that this is the 21st century and not the Stone Age. Also, not sure about the first two years at Scottish Uni being "general". I've only ever known of specific degree programmes where you are studying your chosen subject from the start.
As a side issue, "school" in Scotland always used to require the definite article, e. Sadly, this is really only heard from older folks now as our culture is increasingly swamped by others. With a son who graduated from Brighton Uni quite recently, I would like to add a couple of points about English university education as I understand it so lots of hedge words; do check for yourself if any of this is relevant to you before you rely on it.
It is sometimes often? True or not, the first year at university will include consolidating in practice re-teaching parts of the relevant A-level subject but in a uni way, and will often also teach general skills such as statistics, relevant Microsoft Office programs, possibly remedial writing and possibly English, together with fairly soft introductory-level degree topics.
Typically the results from the first year's course work and exams will govern whether a student is allowed to progress to the second year, required to repeat some or all of the first year, or asked to leave. Those results will not count towards the class of degree. The second and third years move onto the meat of the degree subject proper, and results do determine the eventual class of degree. Probably half of the third year of an honours degree is taken up with writing the dissertation, or completing a project for more practical subjects.
For practical subjects some unis may offer optional 'sandwich degrees', which mean that students follow a four-year degree course but spend the third year working, sometimes paid, sometimes not, gaining practical experience at a relevant company or non-commercial organisation. They then return to uni for a fourth year, studying alongside third-year non-sandwich students who started uni a year later. Sandwich course students will generally submit a dissertation-equivalent placement report for an honours degree, relating their sandwich year experience to some elements of subject theory.
Although such students graduate a year later than non-sandwich students, their practical experience and more impressive CVs can more than compensate for the delay in entering the workforce proper. Finally, most but not all English degree courses are three years or four year sandwich.
Several New England boarding schools of 19th-century foundation still use forms, meaning grades, as well as other terms extracted from the British lexicon--housemaster, tuck shop, etc.
I was a second former through sixth former some sixty years ago at my Connecticut school Choate , and would still be so designated today except that the second form was phased out in the s.
The most ferociously anglophile New England school is St. Paul's, which is Episcopal Anglican and calls its headmaster a rector. Mencken, a mock anglophobe, treats New England boarding school lexical anglophilia in his American Language, with particular attention paid to St.
Paul's, Choate, and Groton. Other such schools are designedly idiosyncratic, with, for example, Hotchkiss inserting lower-middler and upper-middler between junior and senior. Responding to Monty's prickly post of 8 March In American usage, a college is a bachelor's degree-granting component of a university. The usage is a thousand years old in Europe and four hundred years old in North America. If Monty finds objectionable this lexical discrimination, he'd better take it up with the College de France, Balliol College, or Magdelen College.
All of those places were founded in the Colonial Period as we call it. Mencken wrote a three-volume masterpiece about American English, which everyone should read so said Alistair Cooke and so says Stephen Fry. In the present-day universities of Yale, Harvard, Brown, and Dartmouth frequently misnamed Dartmouth University in careless journalism one makes application, if one is seventeen years old, to The College, not the The University.
Many public American universities have lately been founding Honors Colleges with special residential arrangements, to lure top applicants away from the Ivies and the Ivy peers.
And then there is the important world of the American bachelor's-degree-only liberal arts college, exemplified by the Ivy-peer Amherst College and Williams College.
So the college-university distinction is utile and well understood in the USA. At my Ivy League university, the many British undergraduate were in absolutely no distress about the distinction, colloquial or technical but then they had to be really smart to get in.
In the comments for my last entry, Paul Danon wondered about the names of school years in AmE and how they compare to those in BrE. The Brackley Baptist Church in Northamptonshire has on its website for some reason! Children enter Pre-school sometime after they are 2 years and 6 months old.
