The United States does not have a centralized higher education system that is valid nationwide in every state. Each state has its own governing body to which it is affiliated and which determines educational policies.
Such an education system offers many opportunities for international students on the one hand, while on the other hand it can make it difficult to understand the system from a distance and to choose among so many opportunities.
Primary and secondary education in America lasts 12 years. With the high school diploma obtained at the end of this period, students can apply to two-year higher education institutions (community colleges) or universities. Before elementary school, 1-3 years of kindergarten education is received. In America, elementary school starts at the age of six and then continues with middle school education. Middle schools consist of high schools that provide education for 3+3 or 2+4 years. The 12-year education that starts from 1st grade and ends in 12th grade in America is called high school education.
