Does anyone know if a similar system is in place in Canada? or is it worth it to apply and just go to the US during summers?
The school calendar in the US typically runs from late August or early September to late May or early June. In Canada, the school year usually starts in September and ends in June. However, there may be slight variations in start and end dates depending on the specific province or state.
In the US, grade levels are typically structured as follows: elementary school (Kindergarten to 5th or 6th grade), middle school (6th or 7th to 8th grade), and high school (9th to 12th grade). In Canada, grade levels are structured as follows: elementary school (Kindergarten to 8th grade) and secondary school (9th to 12th grade).
While there may be some variations in curriculum between different states or provinces, the overall curriculum in both the US and Canada is quite similar. Both countries follow a core curriculum that includes subjects such as math, science, English, and social studies.
In the US, standardized tests are used as a way to measure student achievement and progress. These tests are often used for accountability purposes, such as determining school funding or evaluating teacher performance. In Canada, standardized tests are also used for similar purposes, but they may not carry as much weight in terms of school funding or teacher evaluations.
Both US and Canadian schools offer a variety of extracurricular activities and sports for students to participate in. However, there may be some differences in the types of activities and sports offered, as well as the level of emphasis placed on them. For example, high school sports are often more competitive in the US, with some schools offering scholarships for athletes, while in Canada, high school sports are typically seen as more for fun and recreation.
