Anyone knows what is an open school in japan??

Question

I am going to japan to study this september, but i heard they have an open school. One of the problems of going to japan has been that well they start on april and i will have to enter to a grade thats already started, finish it and then start it again. My question is...

Some one told me an open school is when new students go to the school or something like that, but I'm not shour because i think its wierd that they are having an open school right now at the midle of the year... ¿thoes that means that the school its starting now in september? ¿Or is it normal for a school in japan to have an open school right now? ¿What do you think?

Answer 1

No public schools start in September.

The word "open school" is used for a sort of "trial class" of a few days for those who are interested in a school. And they are sometimes held now because regular classes are in summer holiday.

I think "someone" meant that.
