Nursery, which is called pre-school in the US, is where British children go between the ages of three and five. At this stage, children experience a taste of school life without any formal academic learning. Between the ages of five and eleven, British children attend primary school. This is where their formal academic education begins. The American equivalent is elementary school. The first year of elementary school is called kindergarten. Children remain in primary or elementary school until they are eleven or twelve years old. Following this, British children go to secondary school, where they study until the age of sixteen. In the United States, students attend middle school, also known as junior high school in some regions, from ages eleven to fourteen. After that, they begin high school, where they remain until they are seventeen or eighteen. After secondary school, education is optional in the UK, and some British teens begin college (also called 6th form), where they study until they are eighteen. Some then go on to study at university, where their higher education begins. They usually remain there for three or four years and leave after obtaining a degree. In the US, the word college is different than in the UK. It refers to a place where students go to pursue a higher education after finishing high school. For this reason, the words college and university are often used interchangeably in the United States.
