No primary students do not get to choose what they study. I am no longer in school so do not have a favorite subject. It can be either primary or elementary school, they mean the same thing.

Primary students would be from Kindergarten (age 5) to 5th grade. No they do not get to pick any subjects in school. We would call it elementary school, not primary. Some middle school students (grades 6-8th) may have the option of some elective classes-like music or art. High school students have some options. There are required classes to take to graduate and to take for college. those are 4 yrs of english, 3 yrs of science, 3 yrs of math, 2/3 yrs of a foreign language, 2 yrs of history. Some classes my daughter choose to take were, orchestra, calculus, physics, forensics, psychology, german, and speech

If by primary school you're referring to up to about thirteen/fourteen years of age, that's not true actually. However, I'm guessing you mean grades nine through twelve (ages fourteen through eighteen). It varies from school to school as well as what state you're in, but I'll use my school as a general example because I think that's probably around the average. Where I attend school, in ninth grade you can choose your elective (music, art, or technology), and after you take the general course, throughout the next three years you can take related classes (for example, art could lead to taking drawing or photography class, music to a higher music course, or technology to woodworking). You can also choose to take classes like psychology, and I think in twelfth grade you don't have to take math or something like that. In eleventh and twelfth grades, the specific class is not required, but you have to take a science class for example. However, some people will take physics, while others choose forensic science. My favorite classes are probably AP World History, Spanish, and English. Generally in the US, we say elementary school for kindergarten through fifth grade (ages five to eleven), junior high or middle school for grades six through eight (ages eleven through fourteen), and high school (ages fourteen through eighteen), but I think in some areas they might say primary and secondary school. I hope that wasn't too confusing, and that it helped! :)
