schooling in the U.S.A

[harpreet_sheera]

Can anyone tell me what is the last(oldest) age for a child emigrating to thoolhe U.S.A for entering school?

Do you mean, primary or secondary school (as we call it here), or further education colleges?

I don't completely understand your question, but all school policies are set locally here - you will have to contact the school district where you are considering moving to get a definitive answer.

you can't just ask the same question and expect an answer when you haven't answered the questions people ahve asked YOU about it (ie when you last asked this question, people didn't understand what you exactly meant so asked you for more info) If you'd have answered, you may have got an answer yourself.

That's the second time you've asked the question and we still don't really know what you mean!

Formal education in most states of USA starts at the age of 6 (although, just like in the UK, most children attend pre-school, kindergarten or similar). So their Grade 1 is equivalent to our Year 2.

As in the UK, if a child moves into a new town they will be allocated a place in a local school. So, if you emigrate to the USA, and your child is in Year 5 here, they'll go into Grade 4 in the USA. If your child is in Year 11, they'll go into Grade 10.

So, as long as they're not over 18, there is no maximum age for entering school in the USA.
