Im a little confused about ur question. But Ill try to answer as best I can. I dont think there is a pre-school in Japan, but kindergarten can last 3 years. Its not mandatory however. My host sister is 5 and just started, but several of her class mates have been in kindergarten since last year. Schooling years are different. They usually end in Marchish and Begin again in April as a new school year. As far as Junior high, There are 3 years of junior high, instead of having 2 like in the US. So when you would be a freshman in highschool, ud be a 3rd year of Junior high in Japan. Then there are 3 years of high school... 15 is either 3rd year of Junior high or 1st year of high school, depending on when your born. I believe thats about right at least...
