How grades are organized in Japan?

Question:


I am confused. I know that 1st-6th graders are elementary students, but how does it go for the rest? Is 7th-9th graders is middle school and 10th-12th is high-school? Or 7th-10th is middle school and 11th-12 is high-school?

Answer:


1st-6th elementary school
7th-9th junior high school
10th-12th high school
another 4 years for an university (bachelor)
another 2 years to get a master degree
another 3 years to get a Ph.D.

elementary and junior high are both mandatory, but after that, we can choose if you go or not.
