What is a typical school day in Japan?


What is a typical school day in Japan? In general, kids have to be at school by 8:45 am. School finishes around 3:15 pm, so they have to be in school for about six and a half hours every day from Monday to Friday. However, most kids also attend after-school clubs, and many also go to juku (cram school) in the evening to do extra studying.


Do Japanese kids go to school on Sunday?

If you don't get any information, then you can contact school authorities (counsellors/ teachers) to get exact dates. Most of Japan's Public or Private's elementary and middle schools are closed on national holidays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
