How many years do you study in American high school?

American high schools generally study for four years, from grade nine to grade 12.

Students must get the necessary credits for graduation in these four years. Schools have different requirements for graduation credits, but in general, they all require five types of corresponding credits.

Students can choose courses according to their personality, interests and academic performance. From the actual situation, there is not much difference between students in choosing courses, but there will be great differences in the difficulty of choosing courses.

Generally, American students will basically complete the credits in the first three years of high school, and some students who have not completed the credits will use the last year to complete all the credits. Senior four is mainly used for undergraduate application. Their application process is similar to ours, and they need to submit a series of materials. In addition to applying to the school, students are free to arrange their remaining time, and the school will also arrange various activities for graduates. It can be said that after three years of hard study, American senior four students have ushered in the most relaxed and beautiful period.

The study pressure of American students is not as great as that of domestic primary and secondary school students, and they never enroll in any interest classes or extra-long classes. However, this does not mean that American high schools are easy. When we were still studying the third grade course and preparing for the senior high school entrance examination, American students had already started studying the senior high school course. American high school curriculum pays attention to basic education, covering almost all subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, history, geography, astronomy and physics. Students can graduate as long as they complete the required credits. There is no so-called college entrance examination. Except for some basic courses, such as math and physics, all credits come from elective courses. As long as students are interested, they can choose multiple elective courses to study.
