what grade is a 16 year old in canada
Education in Canada Dependent on the province the age of mandatory entry to the education system is at 4â€“7 years. Starting at grade one, at age six or seven, there is universal publicly funded access up to grade twelve (age seventeen to eighteen), except in Quebec, where secondary school ends one year earlier. Children are required to attend school until the age of sixteen (eighteen in Manitoba, Ontario, and New Brunswick). In Quebec, the typical high school term ends after Secondary V/Grade eleven (age sixteen to seventeen); following this, students who wish to pursue their studies to the university level have to attend college (see Education in Quebec). Quebec is currently the only province where Grade 12 is part of postsecondary, though Grade 11 was also the end of secondary education in Newfoundland and Labrador prior to the introduction of grade 12 in 1983.
Middle school Middle schools in the United States usually cover grades 5-8, 6-8,7-8, or 7-9. Historically, local public control (and private alternatives) have allowed for some variation in the organization of schools. Elementary school includes kindergarten through to sixth grade, or kindergarten through to fifth grade, i.e. up to age 12, but some elementary schools have 4 or 8 grades, i.e. up to ages 10 or 14[28] (also known as, the intermediate grades). Basic subjects are taught and students often remain in one or two classrooms throughout the school day, except for physical education, library, music, and art classes. In 2001, there were about 3.6 million children in each grade in the United States.[29] "Middle schools" and "junior high schools" are schools that span grades 6 to 8 and 7 to 8, respectively,[28] but junior high schools spanning grades 7 to 8 were common until the 1980s.
