Schools around the world use different numbering conventions as well as following different curriculums. It is common to find North American schools and those following the US Curriculum using a 12 year numbering format, and British schools and those following the National Curriculum for England and Wales using a 13 year numbering format. In addition, there are other numbering conventions as well as those mentioned.
In the UAE there are many schools offering different curriculums and following different numbering conventions. Below is a table indicating CIS numbering convention and how this equates to the 13 year system. CIS follows the 12 grade system. Age is determined as of 31st of August of the admission year.
