So some students travel a long distance to attend the school.◆ At SchoolThe schoolday begins at 8:30. Then studen ts gather in their homerooms for the day’s studies.

In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.Japanese high school students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years’ studying of each ofthe following subjects: maths, social studies, Japanese, science, and English.
