In America it's not that different, except the books aren't decided by education levels but by the teachers. Everybody learns Romeo and Juliet and his sonnets during Freshman/Sophomore year, and the upperclassmen read the ones that you mentioned with the addition of Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and King Lear. Hamlet was definitely the highlight of my Senior year's reading assignments.
