How school in SA differs from school in the US

The main difference between high school in America and high school in South Africa is the flexibility and choice offered to students. According to American Homeschoolers, American students have more options in terms of their curriculum and extracurricular activities, while South African students have a more standardised experience.

There are also a number of other smaller differences between high schools in America and high schools in South Africa. For example, American high schools typically have more resources, such as libraries and technology labs. American high schools also tend to be larger than South African high schools.
