Education in the USA
Americans place
a high value on education. Universal access to quality
education has been one of the nation’s historic goals. In 1865 education was becoming available to all.
Слайд 4
Education in the USA
The American
system of school education differs from the systems in
other countries. The peculiar feature of American education is the absence of national administration. Each of the 50 states controls and directs its own school.
Слайд 5
Versions of schools of the USA
There are
state public schools, private elementary schools and private secondary
schools.
Слайд 6
State publish school
Most students attend public
schools. These schools are run by the government of
a city. The citizens of the city pay taxes to pay for the school buildings, teachers’ salaries and equipment and supplies for the schools. Public schools are usually large.
Слайд 7
Private elementary school
American children start school at
the age of five years. The first year at
school is called kindergarten. It is required of all American children enrolled in the American education system.
Слайд 8
Private elementary school
The second year at school is
considered the first year of primary school and is
referred to as first grade.
Слайд 9
Private secondary school
Primary school most commonly
consists of five years of education, referred to as
first through fifth grades. Upon completion of fifth grade (the last year of primary school), American children enrolled in the American education system advance to secondary school.
Слайд 10
Private secondary school
Secondary school most commonly consists
of a total of seven years, referred to as

Private secondary school
Foreign students who would like
to attend an American high school, need to consider
how the high school they select will give them access to the best colleges.

was established in 1636, with the principal purpose of
providing a literate ministry1 for colonial churches. It was a small institution, enrolling only 20 students in 1642 and 60 in 1660. It soon became more than a theological training school2 and established itself as a liberal arts college.
William and Mary
The next
institution of higher learning established in the American colonies was the College of William and Mary, which opened in 1693 at Williamsburg, Virginia.
