Of the solutions, I feel that calling it what it's called locally is preferable. Anyone who cares to compare across countries is going to have to parse the location first *anyway*. In the USA the grades are well defined: - Day care or Nanny Care (from birth)(generally private) - Preschool (age acceptance varies based on provider)(generally private) - Bridge-K (entry based on readiness)(generally private) - Kindergarten (entry based on age)(first universal public option) - Elementary (1st through 5th grade)(public option) - Middle (6th through 8th grade)(public option) - High School (9th through 12th grade also called freshman/sophmore /junior/senior)(public option) - Community College or College or Vocational School (rare except for a few feilds) - Masters Program - Graduate Program
