American Curriculum


The structure of the US education curriculum follows a simple format – comprising of two semesters annually where credits are accumulated each year.
American curriculum consists of 13 years of education where students acquire education from pre-kindergarten all the way till twelfth grade.

The Subjects are:

  • English language
  • Arts
  • Math
  • Science
  • Social studies

These subjects are made compulsory as they provide several opportunities to students to use it. While English language allows students to interact with the world confidently, and use the technological advantages of the fast-paced world, subjects like social studies help students to understand the world around them so they can use this knowledge to navigate the world smartly and make informed decisions about issues affecting them.

The US education curriculum has smartly divided the 13 years of education in 3 broad stages:

  • Elementary to fifth grade
  • Sixth to eighth grader
  • Nineth to twelfth grade

The general age bracket for the first stage is 4 to 11 years old. During these years, the goal is to help students develop a strong understanding of the compulsory subject as well as to help them develop critical thinking leadership skills.

Then comes the second stage which is also known as the middle school. In this stage, the 11 to 14 years old students are prepared extensively for their chosen field while also focusing on making their mandatory subject areas stronger.

The last stage, commonly called American high school curriculum, consisting of 14 to 18 years old students involves students completing their certain number of credits (this varies from school to school) and getting a high school diploma. In this stage, teachers also rigorously work on the students’ English writing and speaking abilities so they are better prepared to apply in universities in English speaking countries around the globe.
