17. BI-hs1 High Schools in the U.S. High schools in the United States offer college preparatory programs and vocational programs. College preparatory programs give students the necessary background for admission to a college or university. Vocational programs prepare students for jobs immediately following high school. All high schools offer required courses — that is, classes in such subjects as English, science, and social studies. High school students also may choose from a wide variety of elective courses, such as music, foreign languages, or industrial arts. Extracurricular high school activities, which occur outside of classroom time, include sports, clubs, and plays. Most United States high schools are free public schools supported chiefly by state and local taxes. Each local school district has a governing body, usually a school board, that makes school policies and monitors the quality of education

18. BI-hs2 that students receive. A superintendent administers the district policies. Each high school is headed by an experienced educator, usually called the principal. About 90 percent of students in the United States attend public high schools. The United States also has several types of secondary schools outside the public-school system. Most of these private schools charge tuition. They include parochial schools, which are operated by the Roman Catholic Church or other religious groups, and private college preparatory schools, also called prep schools. Prep schools prepare students for admission to colleges and universities. Each state has laws and rules that its high schools must follow. ( From the 1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia)

19. BI-cu Colleges and Universities Universities and colleges are schools that continue a person’s education beyond high school. A university or college education helps men and women enjoy richer, more meaningful lives. It prepares many people for professional careers as doctors, engineers, lawyers, or teachers. It also gives a person a better appreciation of such fields as art, literature, history, human relations, and science. In doing so, a university or college education enables individuals to participate with greater understanding in community affairs. Universities differ from colleges in that they are larger, have wider curricula, are involved in research activities, and grant graduate and professional as well as undergraduate degrees. ( From the1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia, encyclopedia.com)

20. BI-gtc1 Going to College Students who decide to attend college must choose the school that most nearly fits their needs, finances, and personal likes. They can discover many of the facts by talking to friends and teachers. They can learn about particular schools by writing to them for information. There are a number of basic questions a student should ask about any school being considered. 1. Does the school offer the courses in which I am interested? • How well is the school equipped in general buildings, libraries, laboratories, and other property? 3. What teaching methods does the school use? What is the average size of each class?

21. BI-gtc2 4. What is the standing of the school? Is it accredited? What is the standing of the particular college or department of the school in which I intend to do most of my work? What are the school’s tuition, fees, and living expenses? Are opportunities available for earning all, or part of, my expenses while I attend school? Does the school offer the extracurricular (nonacademic) activities in which I am interested? How is the school located with regard to transportation, living quarters, and general conveniences? 5. 6. 7.

22. BI-gtc3 Colleges and universities state their entrance requirements in their catalogs. They nearly always require a transcript (copy) of an applicant’s high school credits, as well as letters of recommendation. Entrance examinations are generally given several months before the school term begins. Freshmen usually take the intelligence and aptitude tests during an orientation period, frequently called freshman week at colleges and universities in the United States. Many college students earn all or part of their expenses. Many students have part time jobs while they attend school, such as working in stores and restaurants. Most schools offer students jobs, such as waiting on tables in dormitories or working in the library. Students may receive all or part of their college expenses through various aid programs. These programs include scholarships and fellowships; federal, state, and private loan programs; and benefits for veterans and certain other groups such as war orphans.
