Is the British educational system different from the US educational system?
Yes. The British system consists of primary school, secondary
school, college and university. The American system consists of
elementary school, middle school, high school and college or
university. Additionally, the British (or at least English) system
has A Levels and/or GCSEs while the US has APs and IBs. In Britain,
school years are 'forms', but in the US they are 'grades'. A
'class' in the US is a 'module' in Britain. Also, the US system
grades in 'points' while the British system uses 'marks'.
