How does the school systems look like were you are from? Like which different schools there are and how many years in each? And which subjects are there?
In Sweden, school starts at the age of six, with one year mix between kindergarden and school ("sexårs" ~"six years"). Then it's three years (class 1 - 3)almost the same way (with insignificantly more to learn and a couple of minutes longer schooldays), called "lågstadiet" (~ the low stage). Then it's three more years where you actually start to learn things (class 4 -6). Then it's three years called "högstadiet" (~"high stage") with classes 7 - 9.
These ten years are elementary school. There are 17 subjects in elementary school, like chemistry, history, art, music etc.
After elementary school, it's three years called "gymnasium" (it's a greek word), where it's courses instead of subjects.
After gymnasiet, comes university, which I think is almost the same way everywhere
School is mandatory between the ages of 6 and 16
I'm 15 and am in eight grade in elementary school
