Education in the United States follows a pattern similar to that in
many systems. Early childhood education is followed by primary school
(called elementary school in the United States), middle school,
secondary school (called high school in the United States), and then
postsecondary (tertiary) education. Postsecondary education includes
non-degree programs that lead to certificates and diplomas plus six
degree levels: associate, bachelor, first professional, master, advanced
intermediate, and research doctorate. The U.S. system does not offer a
second or higher doctorate, but does offer postdoctorate research
programs. Adult and continuing education, plus special education, cut
across all educational levels.

Study in Chile (Latin America)
Study in Chile (Latin America Country)
Chile is a country on the rise. This phrase may be taken both literally and figuratively, as the Andes mountains to its east push the land up to some of the highest elevations of South America, and as its political life, economy, and culture are improving now in ways that may have seemed impossible ten years ago.

There is no way to begin a discussion on studying abroad in Chile
without first addressing the issue of the country's capital, Santiago.
It "was founded by Pedro de Valdivia on February 12, 1541 with the name
Santiago de Nueva Extremadura. The founding ceremony was held on Huelén
Hill (later renamed Cerro Santa Lucia). Valdivia chose the location of
Santiago because of its moderate climate and the ease with which it
could be defended -- the Mapocho River split the area in two, and
rejoined further downstream, forming an island." Even today, the natural
beauty of Santiago is apparent to residents and visitors alike, despite
the fact that it has grown to become home to nearly 6 million people,
"equivalent to nearly 40% of the total population of the country, making
it one of the largest cities in Latin America."
