So, I figured I’d add this here for all of our benefits. We’ve got a handy Dandy bio template so we can just copy pasta. Also, I’ll transfer over how the Japanese high school classes work from the other thread so we can just look right here 
-School years are divided up a bit different than in the US. It’s still 12 years total but its split up differently. You are in elementary school for 6 years, junior high for 3 and high school for 3.
-The school year starts in April (around the time cherry blossoms are in bloom
) and is separated into 3 terms. This is basically the same as us, however before each break (winter, spring and summer) they have finals.
-High school is not a requirement. You can go to get a job right after you get out of junior high, but it’s rare that anyone does that.
***-High school is 3 years. Each year is split up by homeroom. So, if you were a first year high school student, in homeroom ‘a’, you’d be in homeroom ‘1-a’. Likewise, if you are a third year student (what we would consider a senior) in home room ‘b’, you’d be in class ‘3-b’. Students stay in the same room all day for all their classes and the teachers come to them. The exceptions to this are classes that require a lab or things like P.E.
-The only extracurricular activities the schools have in Japan are clubs. (so they don’t have official sports teams. But if a school has a basketball club, that would be their basketball team. Basically, the school doesn’t really have a role in maintaining the teams like they do in the US. The club has an advisor and that’s about it.)
-This one we will probably ignore…But usually students are only a part of one club because they take up so much time. Students who don’t belong to any clubs are considered in a club themselves: the ‘go home club’ (it’s a joke name, that’s what the word for it translates to) this is generally frowned upon because it means you are lazy.

and now, a handy dandy bio template.
