The translation's pretty literal, but if it's not already understood that the student is a high school student you'd tack on a "koukou" (é«˜æ ¡) before each of these: First year: ichi-nen-sei (ä¸€å¹´ç”Ÿ) Second year: ni-nen-sei (äºŒå¹´ç”Ÿ) Third year: san-nen-sei (ä¸‰å¹´ç”Ÿ)

What do you mean by high school? Is it Junior high school or Senior high school? After graduating from elementery school, students enter Junior high school (chuugakkou) for a further three years. First Year - Chuugakkou Ichi-nen-sei Second Year - Chuugakkou Ni-nen-sei Third Year - Chuugakkou San-nen-sei After Junior high school, students have completed their compulsary education. They may then enter Senior high school,( Kotogakko) where they will normally study for an additional three years. First year - Kokou Ichi-nen-sei Second year - Kokou Ni-nen-sei Third year - Kokou San-nen-sei But High School literaly refer to Kotogakko http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_school#Japan

You'll often find Google is much better than Y!A when it comes to stuff like this http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=japanese+language+schools+in+japan&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= ;p If you need to find one closer to you then change "japan" to whatever prefecture you're staying at. I spent last summer there as part of a exchange student program, I saw a whole lot of English teaching courses, but never once did I ever seen what you're describing. Although I'm pretty sure that if I needed one a local American Embossy could always point me in a good direction. Go down to Asia here and look through the Japanese ones to find one closest to you. http://www.usembassy.gov/ Click on that and you'll find MANY helpful links on the side for students studying abroad and non-Japanese speakers in Japan.

When does school in Japan start

When does school in Japan start?
Do they start in September, like the majority of the schools in the U.S do? Or do they start earlier, like in the summer time?

I think they start in September!!!!!!!! =) You didn't specify: Language schools, High schools, etc...what type of Japanese school are you looking for????????
2 :
Schools in Japan start in April and end in February. Their schedule is quite different than that in the US. For high school students most still go to school in the summer for a few hours and even have homework! However, if you are speaking of American or Canadian schools in Japan I am not sure. I was a teacher at a Japanese high school for three years.

Schools in Japan start the year in early April, and end it in late March. My daughter goes to school in Japan, at the local elementary school, and last March her last day was the 24th of March, and she started the new school year on the 6th of April. This is pretty standard ... see here; http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/calendar/march/springbreak.html (My daughter's school must have had the end of year celebrations a day earlier than this site mentions!!) Japanese schools DO have a 6 week summer holiday though - Thursday (20th of July) was their last day, and they go back on the 1st of September...! There are a few homework clubs though, my daughter will be going to school for a couple of hours each day next week for pool, weather permitting, and 1 hour of group maths homework work!
