 The United States of America has a successful and organized educational system. According to the American school system, the student must pass different school stages through which he learns many skills, methods of critical thinking, and other requirements of the age for success.

Who want a better, more developed educational life and a clearer and brighter future.

The education system in American schools

The education system is similar in America and most other countries and consists of basic, primary and secondary education, which includes intermediate and advanced levels, or the so-called higher education. In addition, the undergraduate level is an optional stage in America that includes many programs such as diploma, bachelor's, master, and doctoral programs, and other programs that do not lead to university degrees.

There are two types of American schools, public public schools that are directly funded by the state

These schools provide free education to all students residing in the state. Either the other type is private schools, which usually requires expensive tuition fees, reaching an average of $ 8,300 for one academic year.

The child prepares to enter elementary school at the age of six, and there he studies about 6 years, then moves to spend 6 others divided into the preparatory and secondary stages, and thus he has finished his basic study period and is preparing after that to join the university stage. However, the American child receives during this stage a number of sub-subjects such as some sciences, arts, social materials and physical education in order to prepare the child during these years to absorb more complex materials later on, and students are also allowed a lot of study options in accordance with the child's tendencies and passion.

For international students who came with their families to the United States of America, they can study for free in the educational school of the state in which they reside, either if they want to enroll in another school that is subject to another geographical region, they must pay some fees that vary from one region to another, either for those who want to study In private schools, as mentioned, they will have to pay the required tuition fees.

The education system in universities and higher institutes

There are more than 4,500 universities and institutes in America that offer academic and professional degrees and licenses.

According to the education system in America, educational institutions are divided as follows:

These universities and institutes offer all the previous degrees in addition to the bachelor's, master's and medical research doctorate degrees.

The system of study units in America

And at all levels of study and educational institutions, the study materials in America consist of study units that are measured by the number of study hours per week. For example, most of the course materials consist of 3 units which represent three lectures per week for the term of the semester. In some cases, one subject may consist of more than that of units, such as intensive language courses, which may reach 12 units of study per curriculum. Likewise, some laboratory materials may consist of one to four study units. Of course, any bachelor's degree is from 90 to 180 units of study, and the master's from 30 to 60 units, which varies according to the major and the university. These units are taken at a rate of 15 units per semester for the bachelor’s semester or 6 units per semester for the master’s and doctoral degrees.

 The academic system in American universities follows a steady path towards development year after year, to finally make American university graduates qualified in the local and international labor market in various fields. The academic system in America follows the semester system, meaning that the academic year is divided into two semesters, and in some universities there is a third semester called the summer semester, the first semester often begins in September and ends in January, while the second semester begins in February and ends in June. The summer vacation or the summer semester is between those two aforementioned seasons.

If you intend to study in American universities, you have to know the system of how grades are calculated

The study is what is known as the GPA short, which is known as the average grade and is calculated according to a mathematical process that you will recognize after obtaining the grades, but my principle is that you must be familiar with the following symbols and numbers.

A = 4.0-3.9 = High Privilege

A - = 3.8-3.5 = Excellent

B + = 3.4-3.2 = Very good High

B = 3.1-2.9 = Very good

B- = 2.8-2.5 = very well low

C + = 2.4-2.2 = Good is high

C = 2.1-1.9 = good
