writing a story based in Japan & need to know when school breaks are for a private japanese high school


writing a story based in Japan & need to know when school breaks are for a private japanese high school?
I'm writing a story about 2 high school teens from Japan and I need to know about the school year there. When would the school year be for a private high school in kyoto japan (if that makes a difference) and how long the breaks would last. also, some major holidays would be grand to know too. and how japanese funerals work.
