speaker My high school in Germany was really small, only about a thousand people, and it was a very close-knitcommunity. In a German high school, there are students from ten years old to twenty years old, so it's a really nice family atmosphere.

 

speaker My high school, it's an international school. Students are from ... well, majority of students are from Asia, but we do have students from Europe and from the Americas, and I like the multicultural environment. It's very nice.

 

speaker My high school was a grammar school, which meant that we had to take an exam to get into it. It was also an all-boys school. And it's quite a prestigious school within the area, due to the entrance exam, so the academic level at the school is quite high. But also, with it being an all-boys school, there was very strong focus on sports.

speaker I went to a public high school, which is paid by local taxes, so since I had kind of a wealthier town, we had a nice school. There are a lot of art programs and technology programs and a lot of good teachers - not too many students there, only about a hundred and eighty students in my class.

speaker Well, my high school was from Grade Eight to Twelve, so that would be about thirteen to seventeen. It was a fairly large school, mostly because there are so many grades, but each grade had a fair amount of students as well. They weren't that well known for sports or the arts; they're more of an academic school, but we did have a pretty good track and field and we had some nice basketball courts as well. My favorite thing to do there was to play in the basketball courts.

 

speaker Well, my high school, for me, kind of has two parts, because to begin with, when I entered my high school, it was completely different to when I left. Because while I was there, they actually rebuilt it, so first, it looked kind of interesting. There were lots of different buildings, different shapes, different sizes. By the time I left, everything was kind of uniform and box-shaped, and it looked terrible.
