The total number of years is the same as in the States.

Kids start school at age 6.

Elementary School is 6 years.

Junior High School is 3 years.

High School is 3 years.

(So the total number of years through the end of high school is 12 years, but the number of years classified as junior high and senior high are different.)

Most kids go to preschool from the age of 4.
