Somehow, from across the globe, 630 of them managed to wind-up in a boarding school in the middle of the largest, and northernmost prefecture of Japan; Hokkaidō.

Classes and teachers exist in TN GAUKEN.
Here they are in all their fearsomeness:
Let's see if this makes things easier:
1-Freshman courses
2- Sophomore courses
3- Junior courses
4- Senior courses
Office Hours are when a teacher could be available, but depending on their personality, may not be. Lesson Hours are for instrumentalists and vocalists, in a group with the teachers on a rotating schedule so the same class isn't missed weekly. I don't foresee it becoming an issue anyway. And don't forget teacher positions are available to RPers

Joshua’s Introduction to Japanese Meals!
A note on Japanese Cuisine:
Please keep in mind that there is much more to Japanese cuisine than sushi and ramen. Ramen, in fact, is considered a fast-food item, whereas sushi is usually only consumed on special occasions and celebrations. It isn't uncommon for hosomaki (細巻き, lit. thin rolls) sushi to accompany a dish, and soba is a bit more common than ramen, meal-wise. Soba would also be more appropriate in this instance anyway, considering it's region of origin is Hokkaido; where the RP will be taking place.
Modern Japanese Meals
Quote:
Japanese cuisine is based on combining staple foods (shushoku, 主食), typically rice or noodles, with a soup, and okazu (おかず) - dishes made from fish, meat, vegetable, tofu and the like, designed to add flavor to the staple food. These are typically flavored with dashi, miso, and soy sauce and are usually low in fat and high in salt.
A standard Japanese meal generally consists of several different okazu accompanying a bowl of cooked white Japanese rice (gohan, 御飯), a bowl of soup and some tsukemono (pickles). The most standard meal comprises three okazu and is termed ichijū-sansai (一汁三菜; "one soup, three sides"). Different cooking techniques are applied to each of the three okazu; they may be raw (sashimi), grilled, simmered (sometimes called boiled), steamed, deep-fried, vinegared, or dressed. This Japanese view of a meal is reflected in the organization of Japanese cookbooks, organized into chapters according to cooking techniques as opposed to particular ingredients (e.g. meat, seafood). There may also be chapters devoted to soups, sushi, rice, noodles, and sweets.
As Japan is an island nation its people eat much seafood. Meat-eating has been rare until fairly recently due to restrictions placed upon it by Buddhism. However, strictly vegetarian food is rare since even vegetable dishes are flavored with the ubiquitous dashi stock, usually made with katsuobushi (dried skipjack tuna flakes). An exception is shōjin ryōri (精進料理), vegetarian dishes developed by Buddhist monks. However, the advertised shōjin ryōri usually available at public eating places includes some non-vegetarian elements.
Noodles are an essential part of Japanese cuisine usually as an alternative to a rice-based meal. Soba (thin, grayish-brown noodles containing buckwheat flour) and udon (thick wheat noodles) are the main traditional noodles and are served hot or cold with soy-dashi flavorings.
--From Wikipedia, Japanese Cuisine
The wikiquote should give you an idea of what a modern, every day Japanese meal is like. All that you really need to know out of that is the most common foods (staples) you'll find in a Japanese dish or accompanying a Japanese dish are rice, miso, and noodles, which often replaces rice in most instances.
If you're still confused about food that will be available to you, try this link for a list of okazu:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Japanese_dishes
Some other background things that have been decided
The student body is a total 630; 157 seniors, 173 juniors, 197 sophomores and 103 freshmen. There are 40 teachers, which is roughly a 1:16 teacher:student ratio, but including other staff, that's more like a 1:12 ratio.
There are nine dorms, with 70 students each, haven't decided on two or three floors yet, but there will be three upperclassmen per floor to assist the house head in supervising the dorms. RP boys will be in B-1, girls in A-2. All others will be occupied by NPCs.
Because of budget cuts and shortages, there are no real librarians. Teachers and older students may volunteer to monitor the library during their free times. There are also no detentions; students are put to work for misbehaving, either under the custodians or the cafeteria staff, as well as having restricted privileges and an earlier curfew.
