Typical American elementary schools consist of elementary school from Kindergarten to 6th grade, middle school from 7th and 8th grade, and High School from 9th to 12th grade. Parents can choose to enroll their students in pre-school and children are often in childcare from an early age. There are variations of this format found throughout the nation, but most follow a similar layout. School is usually in session from September till June. Post-secondary education, or college, is generally governed separately from the elementary and high school system. Funding for public schools is from three levels: state, local, and federal.

There is usually local population, as well as an international student body.
