OT: Anyone here know about scotland?

I beleive the Scottish Education system is much like Australia in the regards you seem to be talking about.
Pre-School or Prep (Prep in sometimes held at the Primary School or is in my State)
Primary School - First 6 years of Schooling.
High School - Next 6 years. (Now sometimes called Secondary College) Finishing at 17-18 years of age.

After that is University, College or just work depending on your choice.

Yeah, I always try google before posting something like this. Found a lot of stuff that was too specific. Told all about specific schools or whatnot, but couldn't find anything that compared the system overall to what we have over here.
