More on Canadian grade levels versus other countries

In Canada, students are required to go to school for at least 10 years. Like the US, school attendance in Canada is compulsory from Grade 1 until at least Grade 10. In some Canadian provinces and US states, though, students are required to complete high school, right through to the end of Grade 12. If you're interested in the grade structures of Canada's 12 provinces, read our guide. You can also learn how the Canadian education system compares with that of the US and Britain.

Poland

In Poland, compulsory education usually starts when children are 6 years old (zerówka or the so-called zero year), and ends after 12 years of learning.

Britain

In Britain (and all of the UK), compulsory education is 12 years. Children must attend school from the reception year (right before Year 1) until Year 11. In France and Germany, meanwhile, compulsory education runs 9 years, the North American equivalent of Grade 1 to 9.

Germany

Also, in Germany, students, at age 12, can attend Realschule, Mittelschule, Gymnasium, or Gesamtschule, instead of Hauptschule. Each of these types of secondary school has a different focus and grade range.

What is Jack Sparrow's most famous quote?

1. “Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.” Jack's deepest and most profound quote.

8. “This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow.” Jack’s confidence never falters, even when he makes a fool of himself mid-delivery.

7. “I love this song! Really bad eggs!”

Jack knows that the way to make the most of a bad situation is to sing your favorite sea shanty. 6. “I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly … stupid.” His advice may be a bit confusing and backwards, but yes, Jack, we understand.

5. “If you were waiting for the opportune moment, that was it.”

Don’t wait for the right moment to do something. Follow your gut and achieve your goals!

4. “Why fight when you can negotiate?”

While Captain Jack Sparrow isn’t one to shy away from battle, he is well aware that sometimes it may be easier to talk it out.

3. “Wherever we want to go, we’ll go.”

Jack’s overall outlook on life is very admirable. We all need to live life to the fullest and do the things we dream of doing. 2. “My tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature informs me that you are troubled.” Leave it to Captain Jack Sparrow to show concern for someone and bring levity to a situation all at the same time!

1. “Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.”

Jack’s deepest and most profound quote. Words to live by.
