Adventures in China

At the private boarding school, students live on the following schedule. They follow this schedule seven days a week, but there are no classes on Sunday afternoon. They then have a four or five day break at the end of every month.

The public middle and high schools have a nearly identical daily schedule. The public elementary students are the same, but without night classes. However, the public schools don't have school on Saturday or Sunday. Occasionally, public schools will have "structured study" time on weekends when students are expected to be in school. Most students go home for lunch and a rest during the middle of the day.

All students, public and private, spend the whole day in one classroom. The teachers move from classroom to classroom.
