Hello. I'm working on a project where I need to label a student by the year of school they're current in. In united states high schools (secondary school) and colleges (universities), there are one of four names associated with the year you're currently in: year 1 = Freshman year 2 = Sophmore year 3 = Junior year 4 = Senior Are these the same names used for the different years in secondary school & university in countries outside of the united states? Thanks -Goalie35
UK don't use these. For me it was: Reception (year 0, yes our school years are zero-indexed!) - Year 6 = Primary School Year 7-11 = Secondary school Year 12-13 = College/Sixth form Universities are just 1st, 2nd, 3rd year etc.

In Germany: Grundschule (Grades 1 to 4) then, depending on the teachers suggestions: Hauptschule (up to grade 9) Realschule (up to grade 10) Gymnasium (up to grade 12/13) or Gesamtschule, which integrates students of all 3 groups. Commonly, grades 5 to 7 are referred to as "Unterstufe", grades 8 to 10 are referred to as "Mittelstufe" and grades 11 to 13 are referred to as "Oberstufe". Also, "Unterstufe" and "Mittelstufe" are referred to as "Sekundarstufe I", the "Oberstufe" is referred to as "Sekundarstufe II".

UK: Primary school: years 1-6 Secondary school: years 7-11 Sixth form: years 12 & 13 Before primary school, there's playgroup and nursery (kindergarten), but these are optional. Sixth form is currently optional, but it will soon be mandatory to serve at least one year. University I don't know about

Not in Canada, at least not in high school, we just go by the grade. Different provinces, even different regions have different cut offs between elementary school, middle school and high school so it's easiest just to say "She's in grade 11" or whatever. I always wondered what those terms meant watching US tv shows and movies but never cared enough to look it up.

Mine was First - typically 11-12 years old Second - 12-13 Third - 13-14 Fourth - 14-15 Fifth - 15-16 (this is where/when we did our O.W.L.S.) Lower Sixth - 16-17 Upper Sixth - 17-18 (this is where/when we did our N.E.W.T.S.) Now I've emigrated, I get totally confused when someone is described as being in the 5th year. I have to add 6 and subtract 10 to convert to real money.
