Because I feel like confusing you further about how different places call different things, my country/language calls what Americans would college/university 'high school' (we also use the words 'college' and 'uni', but 'high school' is a term used to refer to higher education in general), 'middle school' is actually what you'd call high school, and the bit before that and elementary are referred to as what loosely translates to 'basic school' so it's basically the other way around. 'Elementary' is the only word that matches. Text wall comments ftw.

Some thoughts to your early responses: Work actually is natural in some kind of way. Or at least doing something productive is natural. There are studies that show that depression is a LOT more common in people that don't have work, even in countries were they are fully supported by government programs. And concerning the marathon running, I read that one of our most advantageous biological attributes for that is our absence of fur and our ability to sweat through the whole body. Most animals have a lot harder time to keep their body cool through continuous physical activity. And even when they manage to keep cool, their processes for achieving that tend to by a lot more dehydrating than ours.
