If you are Korean and go to ^American school in the US, you will be confused about the difference of the education system between Korea and the US. If you want to go to^ American school, first of all, you have to get imformations that how much different is the education system between Korea and the US. There are several different and similar things between the educational system of Korea and the educational system of the US. (This is a bit repetitive.)

In Korea, the total of the grades(plural) is the same as the US; however, it consists of three school(plural): elementary, middle and high school in Korea. While Americans call 12 grade student 12 grader, we call student 1,2,3,4,5,6 grader in elementary school and 1,2,3 grader in middle and high school. We don't have 7,8,9,10,11 and 12 grade. According to the listening, American kids go to the kindergarden at 5 years old, but Korean parents usually send kids to kindergarden at 6 or 7 years old. And also American(plural) must go to school until 10 grades; however, Korean must go to school before they go to a university. In addition, in Korea, while they have to pay for text book and something like that, they don't have to pay for that in the US.
