Here is a passage about the American school system. America has both state and private schools. State schools are paid for by the government,but,the parents pay for the education of their children. Most American children go to state schools,but the private schools can be very good.

Secondary school in the US usually covers seven years,grades six to twelve. Ninth to twelfth grades are high school. At the end of twelfth grade,American students receive the high school diploma. Students need a high school diploma if they want to go to college.

The school year has two terms,the first of which is September through December,and the second January through May. Students have a long summer vacation. They start school at 7 ： 50 a. m. and finish at 3:00 p. m.

Club activities after class hours are an important part of students’ school life. There are a number of sports and cultural study clubs that students may join.
