what can i say:
school start in aprilc until mid july, the is suumer break, then start term (semester) 2 at septemeber 1. then at around end of december is winter break, and then school starts again on april 6 and we are in new grade.
we have 60 more days of school than american
many of those days are occupied by preparing for festivals (nothing compared to the many observed by inida people my friend tellse me (who speaks japanese evry well... and you know rest, she lives here in japan obviously)
there is sport festival
and culture festival. there are 2 class rep in each class.
divisions ar elike this:
３年６組
mean third year (grade 12) class six.
it is much harder than your school, and it cost money. un like your school there entrance exam to get in to high school and it cost money. did sya they were better than your? they are.
no more kanji are taught. preparing for college 9mostly university) exams too.
3 grades 10,11,12. that is all i can really think of aside from : it is just nomral high school.

If I become an exchange student I might have to go back one grade so I'm not overwhelmed. xp Can we do that? 'cause you are so right. Most of the schools I've been to have been in states that were on the bottom of the list for their curriculum. And homeschooling has helped a lot, but I not nearly enough for Japanese curriculum I don't think. Maybe I should start studying more and go a bit faster with it so my mom will finally let us move on! gonk

That sounds cool! smile I respect the Japanese schooling a lot now. smile Not from this (well kinda because I got a more insider look) but like it sounds tougher. Like with all the kanji and then everything else. I think it sounds cool and interesting too. smile I would love to go to one and I was thinking about doing an exchange student program there but I thought I can't speak it fluently or do I know all the kanji ( I'm still on grade 2) so I can't go because I know only 160 kanji, all kana ( excluding hentaigana. I can't get ahold of any books because I can't order from the interent) but yeah. sad Maybe one day I can do that but I'll probably be done high school then. Plus confused if I were to... I'd probably be transfering to a high school becauseI'm in grade 10 ( 9 days! biggrin ) so.. yeah. And this all sounds weird sweatdrop but basically I mean it sounds really cool! biggrin (Do you ever think like "I'd be going into High school right now and I'd know all the recquired kanji if I lived in Japan." ? redface I do and then I just get sad that I don't and that I was born there... crying ) Does that make me a "Japanophile" that I like Japan and I find it cool and interesting?

This has inspired me to work a lot harder on kanji.
I want to be literate and understand Japanese well.
It'll be a long road, but I'm prepared for it. xD I hope, at least.
The Japanese school year confuses me a bit. The American educational system is SO lax.

If you notice I haven't said much at all in Japanese because I'm afraid of getting it wrong. I know it helps to learn through trial and error, but I tend to not do that. sweatdrop
As for everything else, what would highschoolers usually be learning for each subject? I proably wouldn't pass entrance exams though because I hate math and suck at it, but I'd try. If I couldn't do that then I guess I'll just stay for short-term. sad

First of all, it seems like Japanese students (I bet it is) study so much harder and get so much done, and they do a lot of fun-sounding stuff too like the festivals. *sniffle*
I think the uniforms are a nice step too because in the U.S., some schools have students who are really mean about what sort of clothes you wear (not so much in my school - YAY) but it wouldn't be a problem if we adapted uniforms.

I know...I guess I'll have to work extra hard at it if I want to come close to getting in. But what would we be learning in say...10th or 11th grade?

I like Japanese uniforms. I think they look way better than any American uniforms. 3nodding But come to think of it, I like anything Japanese much more than American.
