Due to the ages of the Chosen Children being moved up in the dub and serval other things the ages they are at is kind of screwed. I thought you may like to this which I previously left in a review anyhow.
Anyway, I've found a typed up sheet which my Japanese teacher gave me in my baddly organised Japanese folder. In brackets are other infomation that I've been was told to the class during the lesson so are therefore less reliable (due to my bad memory and dopyness).
In Japan from 6 years old to 12 years old they go to elementry school. From 12 years till 15 they go to middle school. After that from 15 till 18 they go to high school. (For anyone unaware of Japanese culture whos following this please use this rather than my first one.) And from 18 till 22 they go to University.
From April the First term begins. July the 20th until August are the summer holidays. (Many schools carry on during that time with opintional classes anyway, which many students go to). September begins the second term. Winter holidays last 2 weeks. March till the 31st (I think as this sheet is writen in Japanese) is the length of the spring holidays. (This is the same every year and doesn't depend on Easter for obvious reasons.)
The school week begins on Monday and ends on Friday (on many sites people say that they go school on a Sunday and this used to be true but things do change.) Everyday at 8:30 till 3:00 it happens. There are 6 lessons a day. They last 50 mins each. (They say shorter lessons in creases consentration abilities). Lunch is from 12 till 1. 1 hour long (the sheets designed to inprove Japanese so I've cut alot of stuff like that out). It takes place in the class room and there is no canteen. Every week on Thursday there is assembily (usually standing up, outside and the whole school is present). Everyday after lessons the students clean the classrooms (Japanese school are cleaner than English schools ^-^ Dunno much about American ones). After the classes are over the after school activities take place. Soccer in the gym, baseball, and Choire. (There are now two extra lines which are something about tricks that I've forgotten the translation to. Sorry.)
In Japan the school rules are stricker than in England. (and America, I believe). Students wear uniform (hair is not allowed to go past the eyebrows I think and yeah, I've never seen an anime keep to that. Also remember the first episode of season two, when Hikari receieves that email from her brother and Daisuke gets abit flustered about Takeru. The place that that takes place in is a room for switching from school shoes to home shoes. Even a non uniform school like that has one though that might be more for cleaniness. Also uniforms are worn in University).
All high school students learn Japanese (mother touge), english( no other languages are taught at most schools), mathes, science, geography, P.E, sociolgy and one elective like Music or art.

Interesting. I'd have to say that they are much cleaner than American schools. We have janitors working around the clock at least in the Cincinnati schools, but it never seems to get everything clean like it should. It's always got the dusty floors and stuff even after sweeping. I think at Anderson, my alma mater, if they did those things after classes it would be the cleanest school all around. I may implement that when I start teaching. To bad we don't have slipper rooms. That would be good.
