VeniteAdoremus Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Totally cool Congrats! Can you explain to a curious foreigner how graduating early works? (In my country that would be madness, although people do -rarely- skip classes. We have centralised exams and not all of them are a piece of cake.)

Ok..so I go to a Charter high school ( a high school on a college campus that allows high school students to take regular college classes) and I just completed my freshmen year. At my middle school, I took 3 high school classes (Algebra 1, English 1, and French 1)and the credits transferred over to my high school transcript. I took 1 college French class this year and am in the process of taking a History college class. With the two extra classes, I now have the same amount of credits on my transcript as someone entering their third year of high school. Technically I am a junior, so if I want, I can either skip senior year (which I will probably do) or I can stay all four years to complete an Associate's Degree-(I'm not sure if there is an equivalent degree outside the US, but it is a degree that certifies that one has completed two years of study-and you can receive them in different fields like the arts, science, Early childhood education,....etc.) So yeahh, not many people choose to leave in 3 years, but when I weigh my two options, I'd rather either go on to a college that has a good theology and philosophy program, or enter the convent. soo short explanation= It depends on how many classes you've taken and how many credits you've received. haha that was long....hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniteAdoremus Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thanks! So, yes, that's basically completely different from our system We don't have credits, etc, that only starts at university. Our system is completely inexplicable without diagrams basically we've got three levels of high school and three levels of college (the top two being roughly equivalent to university), and you can move upwards under some circumstances. They tried to introduce a more American-style high school system in the 80's... epic fail. But I'll stop hijacking your topic now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
