Secondary education

This has a comprehensive explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_education

Thank you very much AlpheccaStars, I do know that wikipedia link.

What I meant to ask was, if i write in my CV that "I am a Science teacher, Secondary Education" (meaning that I teach kids aged 15-18 years old)... is that what it means to you English natives from US and from UK?

thanks!

That's what it means to me.

In England we don't have a 15-18 sector. Secondary Education is from 11 (sometimes 12) to16.

The same is true in the US. Secondary Education begins around ages 12-13 and goes to 16 or 17. But it is not that age-specific. My nephew is 18 and he still has one more year of secondary education.
If I were you, I would just say "Senior High School."

Thank you Philip.

Thanks fivejedjon.

I do not need to be that specific about age. I just mentioned the age to explain myself better.

I just wish to inform my CV readers that I teach pre-university science.
Over here kids aged 15-18 go through 10th 11th and 12th grades and then apply to university.

I was looking for an expression that would convey the meaning both to UK and US readers.

Thank you AlpheccaStars.
Please read my answer to fivejedjon.

I wonder if "senior high school" has the same meaning in US and UK?

Just say: I teach science in grades 10-12: Physics, Geology, Chemistry, and Biology.

Thank you AlpheccaStars
