Classes are between 40 and 45 minutes each, with a break of 5 to 10 minutes in-between.
After four morning classes, at about 12:30 PM, students are sent to pick up their homeroom's lunches from the school kitchens.

5. Divisions of education
Academic subjects include Japanese language, social studies, arithmetic, and science. Japanese language is an emphasized subject due to the complexity of the written language and the diversity of its spoken forms in formal speech to seniors (keigo). The English Language is taught at some schools especially in the higher grades;[1] it is now mandatory at 5th and 6th grade
Nonacademic subjects taught include art (including Japanese calligraphy) and handicrafts, music, haiku or Japanese traditional poetry, homemaking, physical education, and moral education. Children also take part in "special activities," scheduled time each week to take care of class business, plan for field trips and ceremonies, and similar tasks
