I teach at a high school. At my school, classes start at 8:30 in the morning and end around 3:30, with club activities and stuff after school. There are six periods in the day plus home room, and the students in certain advanced classes have an extra seventh-period class some days of the week. There are three years of high school, and the first year students are the equivalent of 10th graders. They take General Science, Japanese Classics, Japanese Language, Math, World History, Computers, P.E., three different English classes (General English, Read/Writing, and Oral Communication), Home Economics, and their choice of Art, Music, Calligraphy, or Pottery. They have different subjects every day, and have each class once or twice a week. Instead of each student having their own schedule, they`re divided up into classes of 40 students that all have all the same classes together. At my school the second and third year classes have specialties; for example, the students in Class 1 have extra art lessons, while the students in Class 3 have extra Japanese and English classes. But the first year students just take a little bit of everything.

You go to school around 8-9am and leave around 2-3pm. It's about 6 hours. If you are a member of any club, you might stay and do club activity after classes. The classes for 10th graders are like, Japanese, math, science, history (Japanese history or world history), geography, English, music, art, gym and so on.

It's about the same as American school. But some students go to a cram school after school. Just today I was eating dinner and I watched a few girls get out of a second school and it is already 8 pm here. So, it depends on what extracurricular activities they have going on. I see a lot of boys doing baseball here in Okinawa.
