Our elementary school is divided into nine grades, and you start the first grade when you´re seven years old. If you want you can go a preparing class when you´re six years old, it´s a step between kindergarten and elementary school but isn´t mandatory unlike elementary school. A good thing with the school in Sweden is that it´s free.
The school is also divided into three different steps
•1th – 3rd grade, It´s calls “lågstadiet”. There you learn the basics in almost every subject, for example reading, counting and writing.
•4th- 6th grade is called “mellanstadiet”. There do you start reading other languages, for example English. In the 6th grade you also get the opportunity to pick another language that you´re going to continue to read in the next grades, you are choosing between Spanish, French and German. In the 6th grade you get your first grades.
•7th-9th grade and it´s calls “högstadiet” the last part of the elementary school and you have national tests. You´re preparing for high school and you get deeper knowledge in the subjects you´re studying.

In Poland, the school operates in a similar way as in Sweden. But the 7th-9th grade is called the High school :)
