Lyceums were schools in medieval times that taught Latin grammar. In the US, they educate children up to 8th grade, while in the UK, grammar schools educate ages 11-18. The US adopted grammar schools from the British during colonial times. In the UK, the state grammar school system was based on academic selection, but this changed with comprehensive schools. Some comprehensive schools still use the grammar school name.
The term “lyceum” originates in medieval times, when schools were established to teach Latin grammar to students. Nowadays, the explanation of what a high school is depends on where it is located. In the United States, this type of school typically educates children in first grade through fifth or sixth grade, depending on the school system. Some educate children up to eighth grade. This type of school is often called by a more popular term such as “primary school” or “primary school” and can be a public school or a private school.
In Great Britain, a grammar school is a secondary school that educates young people aged 11 to 18 and follows primary school. This school system excludes Scotland, which has its own system. Other countries using this system include Australia, Canada and Northern Ireland.
Grammar schools were introduced to the United States by the British during the colonial period. Colonial grammar schools originally prepared young men to attend universities and were later expanded in scope and curriculum. Eventually, in the United States, the term came to refer to schools that teach children in earlier grades, and it is still used regionally in this way. The curriculum is the same as in elementary schools and is overseen by each state’s education department.
In Britain, the state grammar school system was originally based on academic selection; generally 25 percent of the best students were admitted. Much of this changed in the latter part of the 20th century with the move to comprehensive schools, although some schools remain selective or partially selective. Comprehensive schools accept all students regardless of academic achievement. The grammar school name also survives in Britain in some of the comprehensive schools, which have kept the title in their names. Other high schools privatized and continue to call by name.
