Korean students typically graduate from high school at the age of 17 or 18. This is because high schools in South Korea provide three years of education, from first grade (age 15–16) to third grade (age 17–18), culminating in graduation.
Here is a summary of the typical Korean high school timeline:
| Grade Level | Age of Students |
|---|---|
| First Grade | 15-16 |
| Second Grade | 16-17 |
| Third Grade | 17-18 |
| Graduation | 17-18 |
