Translations for school system in the English»Spanish Dictionary

school system

school system

El school system (sistema escolar) americano comienza con la elementary school (que abarca desde el curso primero hasta el sexto u octavo). En algunos lugares después del sixth grade, el sexto curso, los alumnos pasan a otra escuela, la junior high school (donde se les imparte la docencia correspondiente a los cursos séptimo, octavo y noveno). Después los alumnos acceden a la high school donde permanecen por espacio de tres cursos. En aquellos lugares donde no hay junior high school los alumnos pasan directamente de la elementary school (donde han estado ocho años) a la high school, que, en ese caso, comienza con el ninth grade, es decir, el noveno curso. Los alumnos finalizan su itinerario escolar cuando han terminado el twelfth grade, el curso decimosegundo.
