The grade systems are different from the United States, however it is always good to have it explained out so when I speak to my friends in the US, I am better informed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-57522623086068807662014-05-20T07:01:24.359-04:002014-05-20T07:01:24.359-04:00Hi Marcy

Kindergarten, Grades 1-3 (Primary), 4-6(Secondary), 7-8(Middle),9-12, 13-20 would be Higher Education (Community College, 4-year Colleges or Universities, then Masters & Phd programs). Sometimes Grade 6 would be at the Middle School (formerly known as Junior High) and sometimes 9th Grade would be at the Marcy Belleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911705752829245007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-41448952879082196542014-05-19T14:59:57.371-04:002014-05-19T14:59:57.371-04:00We don't change the designations of the Grades...We don't change the designations of the Grades :-) We had K to 8, then 9-13 which was High School.<br /><br />Now there is JK (Junior Kindergarten) , SK (Senior Kindergarten) up to Gr. 12. No more Gr 13 since 1988.<br /><br />It meant we had one more year of education before going to to University (I think you call it College in USA)Olive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-4497278202100034462014-05-19T10:07:46.098-04:002014-05-19T10:07:46.098-04:00Well, if we in the US designated kindergarten as 1...Well, if we in the US designated kindergarten as 1st grade we would have grade 13 also.

The last year of High School when High School was a 5 year process. <br /><br />The Ontario education system had five years of secondary education, known as Grades 9- 13 from 1921 to 1988<br /><br />Don't know if other locations had it too. :-)Olive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-45232325224947861672014-05-18T20:57:35.308-04:002014-05-18T20:57:35.308-04:00question: What is Grade 13?
