- Information About the Different Kinds of Senior High Schools Available in Yamanashi Prefecture
■ Public and private schools are available. Among public schools there are those administered by the prefectural government and ones administered by municipal governments.
■ There are high schools that operate normally during daytime hours (called “Zennichisei”) and those that offer part-time classes at irregular times for students with special circumstances (called “Teijisei”). For students in schools that operate during regular hours, students will attend classes from early morning until early afternoon, similar to school hours in junior high schools. For students that attend schools with irregular class times, students will attend classes for only a short time either very early in the morning or late at night.
■ Below is a link to the official website for Yamanashi prefecture. On the website there is a list that details the different high schools located in Yamanashi, including schools for students with special needs. There are also links provided to each individual school on the list.
