I don't know ~

I live in Australia so the education there is very different.

A grade goes something like this: If you are born on July of a certain year, all the way to June the next, you belong to a certain year group.

Australian Education is divided into two .. whatevers. The first one is called Primary School (K-6) , then continues to High School (Years 7-12).

When you are 5 years old, you go to Kindergarten. Before that, you can go to pre-school to start off (usually at the age of 3 or 4)

When you are 6 years old, you go to Year 1.

When you are 7 years old, you go to Year 2.

When you are 8 years old, you go to Year 3.

When you are 9 years old, you go to Year 4.

When you are 10 years old, you go to Year 5.

When you are 11 years old, you go to Year 6.

That is Primary School.

High School is normally ...

12 years old: Year 7

13 years old: Year 8

14 years old: Year 9 (I am 15 but in year 9, not because I repeat but because I was born within the "July-December 1996" age group)

15 years old: Year 10

16 years old: Year 11

17 years old: Year 12

Then University or Tafe or whatever there is.

The thing is, when ever I write a fanfic based on Korean culture and education, I am ... not literally clueless, but you know, growing up & living in Australia, I'm used to their ways, & not Korea's.

So can someone really help me out here?

What is Korean Education like?

I know it is divided up into 3 sections; Junior (I think); Middle/Elementary & High School.

According to me, Junior = Kindergarten (if there ever is) all the way to Year 5.

Middle / Elementary = Years 6 to 8 (I read that in a book)

& High School = Year 9 to 12.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I am not sure.

Does Korean Education have Kindergarten?

Omo I read wikis but they are too much information & just make me even more confused.

Please also correct me this:

High School / College. The first year = freshman

The second year = sophomore

The third year = Junior

The fourth year = Senior.

I can't remember; I don't know.

Just, please. Help me if you know anything :)

They are very appreciated :)

Thank you for listening to this random blog of mines :)
