March is when school stops. April is when school starts back up again.

Japan's school year starts in April, they have short holidays in spring and winter and one month long summer break. School starts again in September.

Elementary, junior high and high schools start at the beginning of September. Colleges have its own schedule. It depends on each college.

In Tokyo it starts on the first of september. But in rural sides of the country such as my place, it starts about a week earlier than that.

For schools in Hokkaido, the Tohoku region (north of Tokyo), and Nagano summer vacation runs from around July 20 to around August 20. These areas experience heavy snowfall in the winter, so winter vacation is extended at the expense of the summer break. For schools across the rest of the country summer vacation runs from around July 20 to around the end of August. School generally starts again on the Monday that falls closest to the start of September (Monday, August 31 in 2009).
