In Britain, most children go to state schools, which are free, but some parents choose private schools that offer smaller classes and better facilities. In the USA, education is also compulsory until the age of sixteen. American high school students usually take subjects like English, Maths, Science, and History, but they can also choose elective courses such as Art, Music, or Computer Science.
