Слайд 3 Education in the USA
Americans place a high
value on education. Universal access to quality education has been
one of the nation’s historic goals. In 1865 education was becoming available to all.
Слайд 4 Education in the USA
The American system of
school education differs from the systems in other countries. The
peculiar feature of American education is the absence of national administration. Each of the 50 states controls and directs its own school.
Слайд 5 Versions of schools of the USA
There are state public
schools, private elementary schools and private secondary schools.
Слайд 6 State publish school
Most students attend public schools. These
schools are run by the government of a city. The
citizens of the city pay taxes to pay for the school buildings, teachers’ salaries and equipment and supplies for the schools. Public schools are usually large.
Слайд 7 Private elementary school
American children start school at the age
of five years. The first year at school is called
kindergarten. It is required of all American children enrolled in the American education system.
Слайд 8Private elementary school
The second year at school is considered the
first year of primary school and is referred to as
first grade.
Слайд 9 Private secondary school
Primary school most commonly consists of
five years of education, referred to as first through fifth
grades. Upon completion of fifth grade (the last year of primary school), American children enrolled in the American education system advance to secondary school.
Слайд 10 Private secondary school
Secondary school most commonly consists of a
total of seven years, referred to as sixth through twelfth
grades. The ninth through twelfth grades are most commonly referred to as high school. Upon completion of twelfth grade, American students are awarded a certificate called the high school diploma.
Слайд 11 Private secondary school
Foreign students who would like to attend
an American high school, need to consider how the high
school they select will give them access to the best colleges.
Слайд 12 Harvard College
Harvard College was established
in 1636, with the principal purpose of providing a literate
ministry1 for colonial churches. It was a small institution, enrolling only 20 students in 1642 and 60 in 1660. It soon became more than a theological training school2 and established itself as a liberal arts college.
William and Mary
The next institution of higher
learning established in the American colonies was the College of William and Mary, which opened in 1693 at Williamsburg, Virginia.
Слайд 15 Private and State

but all of them remained small schools for long periods.
Слайд 16Private and State

universities were established in various states. The first state university
was the University of Virginia, founded in 1819.
