No, I mean, we have something like this:
People start with Elementary School (groups 1 to 8, for people between 4 to 12 years).
Then, according to the "Cito Toets", people can go to Training school, VMBO (4), HAVO (5), or VWO (6), this being ordered from the lowest education level, to the highest, and it's also called "Middle School", or "Secondary School", and the numbers indicate the years of doing the level.
Also, VMBO has 4 sub-levels: VMBO-B, VMBO-K, VMBO-G (rarely used), and VMBO-T.
People from VMBO-B can go to MBO 1 or 2, people from VMBO-K or VMBO-G can go to MBO 1, 2 or 3, and people from VMBO-T can go to either HAVO, MBO 2, 3 or 4.
People from HAVO can either go to HBO, or VWO.
People from VWO can go to WO, or Universiteit.

People from MBO have 4 levels, with 1 being assistent, 2 being low-level employee, 3 being an employee, and 4 being a specialist.
After MBO 4, you can either go to HBO, or start working.
People from HBO are most likely going to be a boss of a company, or do things not available in MBO (like Game Development), and HBO people are either going to do the Master Course, go to WO, or start working.
People from WO are for people working in the science, as a lawyer, and such kind of things, and they can continue to Universiteit, Master Course, or start working.
MBO, HBO, and WO are commonly called "Colleges", or "Employment School".

I know, it's extremely complicated, but that's our education model.
The model is like, it doesn't mind you're intelligent, or good for nothing, there's a chance for you, anyway.

I already have MBO 2 and 3 for ICT, and I'm currently doing MBO 4.
 
I'm not familiar with your process, but that's why I think I put "other".
 
Like I've said, it's very confusing, and it also took me months to understand.
 
In england
age 4-11 you go to primary school
11-16 you go to secondry school
16+ you can go into employment, go to 6th form or college
is you take the last two options and get an A level you can apply for university after 6th form/college.
 
In Australia,
5-12 is Primary/Elementary School
13-17 is High School.
At 18 you can choose to do another year of high school, or go straight to employment/collage. To do the last option you must have gotten good grades.
18+ is employment or university.

I'm in Year 6 this year (last year of Primary), high school next year. I'm not sure what the American equivelant of that is, probably 5th Grade.
 
Im in year 10 this september, this year I will be doing some of my GCSE exams like history, french and maths and some of my english as well. I have already done my unit 1 maths exam in june because top groups did it early.
 
Well, here's a summary of Brazil's education system. I'll be posting the names in Portuguese and the rough equivalent in English.

3-5: Educação Infantil (Kindergarten)
6-14: Ensino Fundamental (Primary School)
15-17: Ensino Médio (High School)
18+: If you pass the "vestibular", which is basically an admission test for college, you may go to college (duh). If not, you may go to "Cursinho", a repeat of High School's last grade for those who don't pass the vestibular.

After that, there's the usual post-college stuff: postgraduate, master's degree and doctorate.

Feel free to ask anything if there's something you don't understand. ;)
 
US:
5 years: Kindergarten
6-10: Elementary School
11-13: Middle School (Junior High)
14-17: High School (Senior High)

These are in most states; some states and private schools have different ways of doing it.
 
Ahhh the joys of getting ready to go back to school, those going to college know what I mean especially with buying textbooks. . . .
 
Nah, the only books I had to buy, are Java, and C# books.
 
I already finished PHP + MySQL, and I have just a few pages for Normalisation.

The books I had to buy, are to finish the rest of my entire Application Development (level 4) studies.
After that, I have to do System Administrator (level 4), since my next desired studies, Game Development (HBO), is in a city far away from me, and we're trying to move to that city (Eindhoven).

I don't mind that, as it's the 5th biggest city of the entire country, and very close to Belgium and Germany, and it has an airport.

Well depends on where you're from, some states have different ages for the grades.

Exactly, it's been like that in both states (Georgia and South Carolina) that I've lived in.
