sorry don't know for USA but i cant tell for australia: - pre school (ages 2 - 4) - kindergarten and grades 1 - 6 = primary school - grades 7 - 12 = highschool - then there is college and university (if you choose to attend)

Well the school system in the United States is a little different. At an age before 5, some parents send their kids to preschool also known as Pre-K At age 5+ kids will attend Elementary School: Grades K-5 K stands for Kindergarten, the grade before 1st grade. At age 10+ kids will attend Middle School: Grades 6-8 And at 13+ kids will attend High School: Grades 9-12 9th grade: Freshman 10th grade: Sophomore 11th grade: Junior 12th grade: Senior (Note these names repeat again in college i.e first year of college is a freshman) Higher education: Some students choose to do a two year technical degree. Others choose to attend a traditional 4 year college. 2 year degree: Technical degree/ associates degree 4 year degree: Bachelor's Degree (also known as undergraduate degree) 6-8 years: Master's Degree/Specialist Degree 8+ is a Doctorate I hope that answers your questions. ^^

Generally most children attend preschools before they enter into kindergarten at around age four or five Grades 1-6= Elementary school - though some public school districts also call it primary school Grades 7 & 8= junior high although there are middle schools which can vary from 6-9 Grades 9-12= high school then our secondary education system consists of trade schools, community and junior colleges, state colleges and universities. There is also graduate school after that for students who've obtained a four-year degree earning either a masters or doctorate

just have a good attendance record

The answer varies by state. Grades K-6 is primary education. Grades 7-12 is secondary education. Grades K-12 are considered general education. After you have completed 12th grade, you may continue your education in college. There are junior or community colleges where you can earn an Associate's degree in about 2 years. There are four-year colleges where you can earn a bachelor's degree (although it sometimes takes more than 4 years). You may also choose to go to technical school to get a job in fields like plumbing, hair styling, etc.

What graduate business school in the USA, offer Master of science in management and/or marketing.
What graduate business school in the USA, offer Master of science in management and/or marketing.?
I am a fresh graduate looking for Graduate business schools in the USA that can offer on campus MS programs. Most of the business schools offer either MS in Finance, either in Acounting. I don't have full time work experience, so i cannot participate in an MBA.

There are dozens, perhaps hundreds, which do so, however, the meaning of the MS may vary from one school to another. At some, it is a more quantitative version of the graduate degree, intended for people who intend to become market researchers or mathematical modelers. This is actually why you find more MS's in finance or accounting, because those are more naturally quantitative subject matters. At some schools, the MS is given for a concentrated program of what might be the electives in an MBA program in a subject matter - in other words, in the case of marketing, the MBA without the finance, accounting, operations management, human resources, etc. In some schools, the MS is a "consolation prize" given to those who made it through the Ph.D. coursework, but who perhaps failed their comprehensive exams or were otherwise deemed by the faculty unsuitable to continue with the program and write a dissertation. Most employers do not see the two degrees as interchangeable, so I would not see not having work experience as a good reason to get an MS. I think you would be better off waiting a few years for the MBA.

There are plenty of schools that do it. Here are 2 that I know for sure. http://www.pisgaheagles.org/ http://northsandmountain.jc.schoolinsites.com/ I went to both of these schools and had exchange students in both.

In Michigan, many schools have Exchange Student programs. Visit the websites of public schools, and e-mail a contact and ask if they have exchange student programs. With this program, the foreign student stays with a host family during the school year. Good luck!
