Why do kids go to summer school?

Do kids in Japan go to school during the summer?

  • I was just curious. How long are they in school? From when, till when? thanks in advance!

  • Answer:

    The Japanese school year runs from April-March. There is usually a break of 2-3 weeks between the end of one school year and the beginning of another. There is usually also a short break around the New Year's holiday, as well as about a month from late July-late August. National holidays will also be days off from school. These days students typically do NOT attend classes at their school on Saturdays or Sundays, though club activities might be held for at least part of the day on Saturday.

For the large part no. Students in elementary school and junior and high school take a month and a half off that spans over july and August.

Elementary, junior and senior high students have summer break from mid-late July until the end of August (usually). I don't know of any places personally that have classes (but there may be some places, I guess), but in junior and senior high the students often go to school for their clubs. The big competitions are all in the summer (local, prefectural, regional, national). Once those are over the students who will be graduation usually stop going to club so that they can study for their upcoming entrance exams, while the other students continue to go to practice. The practice schedule is determined by their coach, so some clubs may have practice only sometimes, while others may have it every day.

Summer Holiday - from 7/21 to 8/31. During that time, they go to school some days according to grades. So, not all the students go to school on the same day.
