Our First Visit to a Junior High School


We visited Aoki Junior High School today. We spent the entire day. School starts at 8:00 and the students stay until 4:30. They then leave and 80% go to "Cram Schools" for three additional hours at night. Cram schools are set up privately for students to study to help pass the entrance exams for high school and university. Teachers at the junior high often work until 7:00 every night as well.This is our welcome assembly.
