This coming September ill be going into my second year of high school....to make a long story short...my high school sucks crap.... there aren't many clubs and sports teams suck. My school years runs from September to June. 1st semester is from September to December and ill have winter break for 2 weeks. School starts on the 2nd week in January and that's when 2nd semester starts. we'll have school till the last week of March which is 1 week of spring break. After that its school till mid June, which leads to the end of the year. I was wondering what it would be like if i did school in Japan. I been watching a lot of anime recently, and school there seems so much more fun and enjoyable. Whats there school year like as in when are there semesters and breaks, and if they actually have all those clubs too. Does the anime just make it seem fun? or is it actually like that

Well, they have school all year, but they have like Christmas and some other holidays. But only for one day breaks, im pretty sure. Japan schooling is really good though. It can get u into some BADASS schools. Lol

The Japanese school year starts in April and consists of three terms, separated by short holidays in spring and winter, and a one month long summer break. A characteristic of the Japanese school system are entrance exams, and with them a high competitiveness among students. Most high schools, universities, as well as a few private junior high schools and elementary schools require applicants to write entrance exams. In order to pass entrance exams to the best institutions, many students attend special preparation schools (juku) besides regular classes, or for one to two years between high school and university (yobiko).

Asian countries put a lot of emphasis on education, so you'll be studying a lot more than here.
