  1. Cool, i started enjoying highschool a lot more once i got to choose my subjects, in 9th Grade i had to do drama, dance and cooking haha it was horrible.

    Thats interesting that 9th grade is still called Primary school in Sweden. Highschool starts from grade 8 and goes to grade 12 here. So do you go to school with grade 3's and 4's?
  2. Primary school that is the mandatory school starts at age 6/7, has nine grades and is finished at age 15/16. Then you go to "Gymnasiet" with three grades, and then you go to university.

    I think I didn't fully understand your question.
  3. thats cool, if primary school has 9 grades, are all 9 of those grades at the same school campus?
  4. School is different everywhere you go.

    I'm 16, and I'm going to university in September next year, whereas Olof won't be going until he is maybe 19.
  5. Depends on how big the school is. My school has all nine grades, another school nearby only has the first six grades.

    Yeah, you wish that at least university would be at the same time.

    Does university like start with two years for you Kieran? 'Cause the International Baccalaureate program is only two years, and starts at the age that you're of right now.
  6. I don't really understand that question, but I just go straight to university for 4 years, and that's it.
  7. I mean if university is like split up in stages or something. The IB program starts at age 16/17 and is two years long.
