Elementary school - 6 years ( Grade 1 to Grade 6) Junior High School - 3 years (1st, 2nd, 3rd) The number of classes students have and the time they leave school each day vary according to the day of the week and the grade. In 6th grade, usually five or six classes are held per day (one class is usually 45 minutes in elementary schools and 50 minutes in junior high schools). There are no classes on Saturdays and Sundays. In elementary school, the class teacher teaches most regular education subjects. In junior high school, the teacher varies according to the subject. We have Lunch hour (Kyuushoku jikan) in elementary and junior high schools, In most cases, school lunch is provided as a part of the school educational activities. School lunches are planned so that students will learn the proper way of eating and suitable or good human relationship. This is done through students setting the table, clearing the table and eating a well-balanced diet while having fun together. In this way, students can learn to live healthy.Parents or guardians pay for the cost of the ingredients of lunch, and the amount is about 3,500 yen to 4,500 yen a month. depending on the area and grade. In some junior high schools, lunches are not provided. We also have a Cleaning hour (Souji jikan). Students share responsibilities for cleaning the classrooms, school grounds, etc. And Club activities (Bu katsudou) those who wish to do so can join athletic or cultural activities after school

It depends on each school. Why don't you ask your own school?
