Frage über Englisch (US)

Wie sagt man das auf Englisch (US)? I'm writing a resumé. I'm making a list of my education and diplomas. Is it correct? "A-levels in X High School"? Or do I have to say "at X High School"? Thank you

In v.s. at is a pretty confusing topic, even for native speakers. I think "in" would be the better choice as it shows that you were enrolled in that high school and were a student. "At" shows that you were on the campus of that school but not necessarily a student.

When people say "Stay in school", they mean to not drop out of school.
"Stay in school so you don't get a bad job."
When people say "Stay at school", they mean to not leave the school area.
"Stay at school and I'll pick you up in 10 minutes."

trojanbird's answer is good, but I'd think it might be clearer to say "A-levels from X High School". "in", used in this situation, just sounds odd. However you might want to ask on the UK English board? A-levels are a UK thing, we don't have those in the states, and they'd be better able to tell you what is generally used there.

Thank you both sooo much! Yeah, I put "A-levels" just to give an example, I'm actually translating a Spanish resumé for a friend and I will leave the Spanish term saying that it is an equivalent to an high school diploma. And thank you so much for the clarification on the prepositions!!!

By the way, when students have to do some research about a subject and then explain it to the class, can you call it a "research project"? And do you "do" it or do you "make" it? Thank you so much!

It would be called a "research project", yes. You do research projects. If it's just writing an essay for the teacher, you might also say "writing a research paper", but that's a lot more casual.
