American schools are structured into levels including pre-school (ages 2-5), kindergarten (age 5), elementary school (grades 1-5, ages 6-11), middle school (grades 6-8, ages 11-14), and high school (grades 9-12, ages 14-18). American classrooms are typically equipped with computers, projectors, and whiteboards, while schools focus more on English and Spanish or French instruction than other languages. After school activities include sports teams that meet from 2:30-5:30pm.
