Hi, at the age of nine on the 1st of September, that's what I understood from the chart, I'd expect a child to be starting fifth or fourth grade. But because it is a foreign school system I believe that placement tests might be done and that would effect which grade they'll be put in. Just to give a run down. kindergarten (age 5 by December, I believe.) Grades 1-5 Elementary School (Primary) (5-11) Grades 6-8 Junior High School (11-14) Grades 9-12 High School (Secondary, because in a small school system the Junior high usually gets split between Elementary and High school.) (14-18)
