In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend high schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a long distance to attend the school.‎ ‎◆ At School The schoolday begins at 8:30. Then students gather in their homerooms for the day’s studies. Each homeroom class has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homerooms for most of the schoolday.

Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places.‎ ‎ Some schools may have a cafeteria (自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.‎ Japanese high school students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years’ studying of each of the following subjects: maths, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives (选修课) are few.‎ ‎◆ Afterschool Activities Club activities take place after school every day.
