How many months of school do japanese have?

Answer 1

Just a note beforehand: All schools in Japan are different(especially high schools). They may have different dates and times, as well as different vacation times. In a typical Japanese high school, there are 3 years. In America, that would be 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. Each year has 3 terms, trimester system. School in Japan generally starts in April, and ends in March. Between that time, there is Spring Vacation. First term is generally from April 1 to mid-July. Then summer break starts(it is about 1-2 months depending on the school and the location). Second term starts from early September to late December. Then Winter break starts near the end of the year. Generally from a few days before Christmas until the end if the first week of January due to New Year's celebration(which is very important in Japan). The 3rd term is from early January to early March.
