Okay, here in ireland, we have a system as followsYou start school, at around 4 or 5.Junior InfantsSenior InfantsFirst ClassSecond ClassThird ClassFourth classFifth Classsixth ClassThen you leave primary school, and enter Secondary school..First yearSecond yearThird year (first public exam , the Junior Certificate)Transition year (an optional year, in my school, others have it as compulsary, you basicly take a year out to do various courses and crap. It's fun..Fourth year Fifth year ( biggest exam you'll ever do, the leaving certificate, it decides what colleges you can enter and your future career.. and it all takes place within 2 weeks of back to back exams)Then you can enter college, the years for college vary depending on what you want to study.

In the united states it goes like this:kindergarten (age 4 or 5... some places are starting at 6 now) Then primary, or elementary school is 1st- 6th gradeNext you have Junior High- that's grades 7-8 High school is 9th-12th grade often referred to with the same names given to years in college- freshman(9), sophomore(10), junior(11) and senior(12).

College time here depends on what career you're going for too. Like if you're want to be a doctor or lawyer you will probably spend like 8 years in college.
