Education in India

In India, high school is a grade of education from Standards IX to XII. Standards XI and XII
are also called Higher Secondary School, Senior Secondary School or Junior College. Usually,
students from ages 14 to 18 study in this section. These schools may be affiliated to
national boards like CBSE ICSE or various state boards. Education is compulsory until age
14. Most Schools are stand alone units except a few like the Delhi Public School Society
which has 125 schools across the country. Most schools are day schools in major cities
however, there are some popular residential schools such as the St. George's College, Doon
school, Scindia school, Mayo college girls' school etc.
