Educação primária e secundária: a educação primária começa aproximadamente aos seis anos de idade. Após cinco ou seis anos de primário passa-se para o colégio secundário, o qual consiste em dois programas de três anos ou um programa de três anos mais quatro anos, os quais são conhecidos como "middle school" (ou "junior high school") e "senior high school", respectivamente - normalmente denominados simplesmente como "High School". Os americanos chamam estes doze anos de educação primária e secundária, de os doze primeiros "graus" ("grades").

10th, 11th and 12th grades
There are a few American schools in Brazil. If you transfer from a Brazilian school to an American school, you go up a grade. If you go from an American to a Brazilian school, you go down a grade. You can´t really say that 2ndo grau corresponds to high school because 2ndo grau is only 3 years and high school is 4.
