Hi there!
I have some questions about schools.
What’s the main differences between:
- grade school, primary school, elementary school
- high school, secondary school, middle school
grammar school, trade school, vocational school
- college, university
- get a degree, get a diploma, graduate

thanks a lot.
Have a nice week.

Grade school, primary school,grammer school, elementary school.
They are all the same, normally k-6 grade
*
secondary school, middle school, normally 7-9 grade

High school grades 10,11,12

Trade school & vocational school, normally schools where you learn a trade.
*
You graduate (finish a school) and earn a diploma (a piece of paper telling you that you have earned all the requirements) or a degree (usually reserved for college students)
