At the moment, the Ministry of Education has not yet approved the school vacation schedule for the next academic year. But, if it is important for us now to understand when the schoolchildren will rest, we can try to draw up a schedule by looking at the schedule of past years.
When will schoolchildren rest in the 2017-2018 academic year? Let's try to answer this question. In this article, we will look at the "classic" school schedule: four quarters, vacations in between, and additional vacations for those who are in school for the first year.
The first school day in the 2017-2018 academic year is September 1. In 2017, this day falls on Friday.
Autumn holidays usually fall in late October and early November. In 2017, autumn holidays are expected to begin on Saturday 28 October. The last day of the fall break is Monday, November 6th. This is due to the fact that the holiday (non-working) day of November 4 falls on Saturday, and is postponed to November 6 (Monday).
Winter holidays for schoolchildren will begin on December 25 and will last until January 9, 2018, and a week of additional rest for first graders may fall for a week, which will begin on February 19.
Spring break for the 2016-2017 school year is expected in the week of March 26 to April 1.
Summer holidays, as in other academic years, will begin on June 1, and for students of grades 1-4 - on May 25, and for students in grades 9 and 11, the academic year will end according to the final certification schedule.
Finally, we note that all the terms determined by the Ministry are of the nature of a recommendation. The school decides whether to follow them, and, if necessary, can shift the holidays in one direction or another.
