what's the typical high school life like in japan?
i really want to be a foreign exchange student & study abroad in japan for a year or so. i want to experience the rich culture & eat delicious food. hahaha. i just find japan to be so intriguing, i've been wanting to go to japan since i was like in elementary school. i was wondering what it usually takes to attend a high school in japan, especially for foreign exchange students. do you need to speak, read & write fluently? also, what's daily life like in school? what're the kids like?
Typical high school life in Japan differs greatly from that of the West.
School usually takes place on Saturdays besides the weekdays but not on Sundays.
Extra-curricular activities are often mandatory, whether you decide to take up volleyball or join some club.
Uniforms are most often (if not always) the case, and I know before a lot of schools used to be very strict about this - you wear your uniform and nothing else, no jewelry, hats, etc. Your bangs couldn't be too long and you couldn't dye your hair. Schools might be a little more slack about this rule now though. A bag is also given with the uniform. During PhysEd, everyone wears the same gear as well (school shorts and shirt or a track suit).
You're mostly not allowed to bring anything but your educational necessities - no candy, mp3 player, makeup, etc. If teachers see this then they are confiscated until the end of the day (again, this was the case years ago so I'm not sure if many schools are still this strict).
When you enter the school building, you have to go to your shoe cubby and take off the shoes you're wearing and wear your "indoor" shoes (usually white slip-ons for most schools). This is just to keep the school clean. At the end of the day you'd place your shoes back in the cubby and wear your original shoes out to head home.
Instead of students moving from classroom to classroom, it is teachers who switch classrooms for different classes, so you have your own desk. There are no lockers but often cubbies at the back of your classroom. Classes usually consist of 30-40 students and cleaning the classroom is left to the students (so a small group of students every day/week would be in charge of sweeping, etc. and so everyone takes turns cleaning). The classes are divided by year and division, according to where you "rank" in terms of your grades. If you are in high school year 1 (grade 10) and you have top grades, you would be in class 1-A (and 1-B for middle, 1-C for the lower half, etc.)
I believe all schools come with a swimming pool? Which is required to be used for PhysEd (everyone wears the same swimsuit) - and some schools I think require you to swim at the school pool on a regular basis during summer break (I guess this is the institution's way of insuring you're getting out regularly).
You're free to bring your own lunch or buy and eat at the cafeteria.
You're always given a load homework for Winter and Summer breaks.
During the school year, there're always these annual sporting events where the different classes compete against each other in different events (baton-relay, sprinting, "tama nage" - where you throw small balls into a basket that sits atop a tall pole).
There's probably a lot more - but that's the gist! =)
