Holidays at school for the academic year. Holidays in quarters
Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine within the framework of the reform school education proposes changes to studying proccess. The reforms will affect curricula and the development of children. In addition, changes can be expected in the structure of the academic year, which many consultants and advisers recommend to divide into trimesters. Until this year, all public and most private schools shared academic year for semesters.
Qualified specialists are sure that this reform school curriculum very important for the correct distribution of study time. It will make it possible to make the periods of study between small weekly holidays almost the same. Such an organization of the educational process of children school age will allow teachers and the administration of educational institutions to more harmoniously distribute teaching load on a student.

However, the reform of the school year structure is likely to take effect no earlier than 2018. According to the letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of June 7, 2017 No. 1 / 9-315 “On the structure of the 2017-2018 academic year”, classes in general educational institutions, regardless of subordination, types and forms of ownership, should begin on Knowledge Day - September 1 and end no later than September 1 July 2018.
The academic year 2017-2018 will be divided into 2 semesters:
- I semester - September 1 - December 22, 2017,
- II semester - January 10 - May 31, 2018.
When are school holidays 2017-2018?
- Autumn holidays: October 30 - November 5, 2017,
- Winter holidays: December 25, 2017 - January 9, 2018,
- Spring break: March 26 - April 1, 2018,
- Summer holidays: from the end of the school year until August 31, 2018.
vacation, regardless of the season, the most favorite time for all students. They are waiting for both first grade students and school graduates. The holidays of the 2017-2018 academic year St. Petersburg, which all young Petersburgers dream of, are no exception.
During the holidays, you can play enough with your peers in various exciting games, go out of town and enjoy nature, as well as visit loved ones living in another city.
When do school holidays start?
Every year, the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation draws up a schedule of school holidays, which is advisory in nature. Educational institutions develop their vacation schedules, taking into account the recommendations of the higher department.
The question arises - why this procedure is repeated every year? The answer to this question is very simple. Days off and holidays change every year, which requires constant adjustment of the educational process. Agree that it is not logical to set the start of the holidays for some holiday or weekend.
At the beginning of each academic period, the developed schedules are approved by the administration of educational institutions, and brought to the attention of all students and their parents.
in different educational organizations vacation periods may vary, despite the fact that teaching is conducted according to the same program. This applies to both the city of St. Petersburg and other cities of Russia.
The vacation schedule for 2017-2018 has not yet been approved by the Ministry of Education. This procedure takes place six months before the start of the educational process.
At the same time, this does not prevent you from independently calculating the beginning and end of the holidays, taking into account recent experience. In this process, it is important to take into account the dates of holidays and weekends, as well as the form of education at school.
Now in the schools of the Russian Federation two forms of education are common:
- by quarters;
- by trimesters.
Trimester education
If the old system has already been tested and is known to everyone, then the new form of training in trimesters is just beginning to operate in the Russian Federation. Let's try to figure out what its specifics are.
This training system was developed by Russian specialists involved in hygiene and education of students in the Russian Federation. Scientists of a special research institute noticed that after five weeks of the educational process, the assimilation of students decreases sharply. This gave rise to the development new system learning. At present, it is impossible to unequivocally assess the effectiveness new form. So far, there are intermediate results of research on this matter. Time will tell if the choice of the trimester system was correct.
Vacation schedule for schools teaching in quarters
The first in the academic year 2017-2018. there will be autumn holidays. They will start at the end of October and last until the beginning of November. The end of holidays during this period will be affected by Day national unity, which will be celebrated on Saturday 04.11.17. The day off according to the existing legislation should be postponed to 11/06/17, so the autumn holidays will last from 10/28/17 to 11/06/17 inclusive.
Winter holidays in St. Petersburg will begin, as in all educational institutions in Russia, at the end of December and will last until 01/10/18. This is usually the first working day after the long January holidays. Thus, taking into account the experience of past years, winter holidays for schoolchildren will be within: 12/25/17 - 01/10/18.
Children enrolled in grade 1 will be able to take advantage of additional days off. This is done so that the fragile children's body can fully recover, and is ready to receive new knowledge by 01/10/18. As a result, the winter holidays for first-graders will begin six days earlier - 12/19/17 and end on 01/09/18.
Spring break traditionally starts at the end of March and will last until the beginning of April 2018. During this period, there will be no holidays in the country, so these holidays will depend only on weekends. Based on the experience of previous years, spring break will be held from 03/26/18 to 04/01/18.
Summer holidays usually take a full three months. This is the most fertile time for all schoolchildren in Russia. You can forget about textbooks for a while and devote yourself completely to rest.
In fact, summer holidays are approved in different educational organizations in different ways. There are educational institutions in which holidays take 2-3 months. In addition, there is educational organizations in which certain tasks are given for the summer period. We must not forget that there are always students who lag behind the existing curriculum, so they are forced to improve their knowledge before the start of the next educational process.
Vacations in the summer should be spent with sense and benefit. If necessary, you can help your parents with household chores or learn something new. You need to skillfully plan your free time in order not only to gain strength, but also to do something useful.
School holidays with trimesters
Such educational institutions Calculating vacation periods is much easier than in standard schools. Here, training is conducted according to the 5 + 1 formula. Five weeks go by educational process followed by week-long holidays. That is, every 35 days alternate with a week-long vacation. The exception is winter holidays. Here they completely coincide with schools in which training takes place in quarters.
What holidays look like in a trimester school is given by the following table:
vacation | Term |
autumn | 09.10.17 – 15.10.17 and 20.11.17-26.11.17 |
Winter | 12/25/17 - 01/08/18 and 02/19/18 - 02/25/18 |
spring | 09.04.18 – 15.04.18 |
Summer | 01.06.18 – 31.08.18 |
Possible deviations in the vacation schedule
AT recent times, schoolchildren from different cities of Russia noticed that their holidays do not coincide in dates. This may be due to many reasons, including the fact that in many schools in the Russian Federation the educational process proceeds at different speeds. That is, some educational institutions conduct training according to the schedule, others are ahead of schedule, and still others lag behind the established pace of the educational process. The latter may be due to various force majeure circumstances. It can be:
- severe frosts, which have been observed more than once in Siberia;
- floods, not uncommon in the Far East;
- epidemics of influenza and other diseases affecting last years Ural and Central regions of Russia.
Missing classes for the above reasons can significantly disrupt the schedule of the educational process and cause not only the postponement of the start of the holidays, but even their reduction. With any changes in the vacation schedule, the opinion of the teachers and, if necessary, the parent committee is taken into account educational institution.
School for students is the same work as work for their parents. And every working person knows that it is possible to carry out his duties effectively only when periods of activity alternate with time allotted for rest and recuperation. That is why students are provided not only with a short-term change of activity in the form of breaks or lessons physical culture, but also the long-awaited multi-day ones.
Holidays are eagerly awaited even by those young Muscovites who are really drawn to knowledge and love to attend school. With the modern workload of students, they do not have so many free hours to take a walk in the yard, reach a new level in a computer game, or take up their favorite hobby. For representatives of the graduating classes in middle or high school, vacations provide another important opportunity - to begin (or intensify) preparation for serious life tests in the form of or.
It is quite difficult to find time to visit a tutor if the student already needs to solve many problems every day, write essays and compose essays in numerous school subjects. Information about vacation times is also of interest to parents, because everyone wants to spend a vacation with their families, traveling around the country or visiting relatives. Muscovites who already today wish to competently plan the 2018-2019 academic year should familiarize themselves with the long-term plan in advance schooling for this period.

Reform in the definition of vacation time
The educational departments of Russia have been debating the topic of vacation time for several years now. Now Russian schools in general (and Moscow schools in particular) have fairly broad rights in this matter. The educational department formulates recommendations, and the school administration, on the basis of this document, determines the dates of vacations planned for the autumn, spring, winter and summer periods. Of course, there are General requirements, which are mandatory for all school administrations in Moscow:
- students are supposed to rest from autumn to spring for at least 30-35 days;
- the first day of vacation must be on a Monday;
- on hot summer days, schoolchildren of all ages should receive two months free from study or practice;
- in the fourth system of education, each new study period must be preceded by at least seven days of rest.
Today, several options for dividing the academic year are used in metropolitan schools:
- "Quarter" classics, when students have to study for four quarters, separated by small vacations in autumn, winter and spring, as well as long summer vacations;
- trimester structure - in this case, three periods of study are interspersed with vacation periods of a longer duration than in the case of a quarter approach;
- two-semester approach - similar to the university system, only without sessions and with long vacations between study periods. Most often, this is how the educational process is organized for 10-11-graders, because they need to have time to get the maximum knowledge and learn the program necessary for passing final exams. Kids, of course, are not able to study so intensively;
- modular educational process - in this case, the academic year is divided into five relatively equal parts with little vacancies in between.
Such a diverse approach to determining the structure of the academic year has been repeatedly criticized - adherents of Soviet practice have repeatedly proposed issuing centralized instructions to school administrations. The main argument is the fact that different dates vacations do not allow you to properly plan numerous, creative contests and other activities for students.
Despite all the controversy, a unified vacation system for the Russian Federation has not been chosen
Some of the students at this time have free time, and someone has to go to events, looking up from their studies. Moscow schools even conducted a survey among parents to identify which of the structural approaches could satisfy the majority of families, but no clear leader was found. Looks like 2018/2019 a year will pass normally.
Recall that the most common options in the schools of the capital are study in quarters or modular blocks, so it is for them that we will give the recommended vacation dates. The final version of the schedule will appear only in March 2019 - the Ministry of Education will formulate its recommendations approximately 6 months before the start of the study period.
Holidays in 2019 when studying in quarters
A sample schedule for the 2018/2019 academic year is as follows:
- the beginning of studies will fall on 09/03/2018 (September 1 is Saturday, so on this day some schools can only schedule a solemn line).
- autumn holidays will be held in the interval from 10/29/2018 to 11/05/2018 inclusive, as the day off is postponed to Monday due to the 4th day - National Unity Day;
- The next study period will last from November 6, 2018 to December 28 (29), 2018. Perhaps, on December 29, schoolchildren will really have to study - all because the next Saturday will be appointed as the working day for December 31.
- 12/31/2018-12/10/2019 - recommended vacation dates, which can be extended until January 13 inclusive, because it is not advisable to go to class on a Friday;
- 02/02/2019-02/25/2019 - another small vacation period for primary school students. Additional rest on Monday arises due to the postponement of the Saturday celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day to the next working day;
- 03/01/2019-03/22/2019 - the educational process, which will end with spring vacations, tentatively falling on the period from 03/25/2019 to 04/31/2019;
- 05/04/2019-24(31).05/2019 - the last period of study under the quarter system, after which summer vacation for schoolchildren.
Holidays in 2019 according to the modular system
With a modular system, students get a break every 5-6 weeks
Recall that such a schedule is usually represented by alternating 5 or 6 weeks of training, with 1 week of rest. Students will spend the year in this mode:
- 09/03/2018-10/05/2018 - the first training module. The time from 8 to 14 October 2018 is a rest period;
- 10/15/2018-11/16/2018 - the second training module. From November 19 to November 25, 2018, schoolchildren will be able to relax;
- 26.11.2018-28(29).12.2018 - the last push before the holiday vacations, which will be held from December 31 to January 10 (13), 2019 inclusive;
- 01/15/2019-02/15/2019 - a new period of study, which will end with holidays from February 18 to February 25, 2019;
- 02/26/2019-04/05/2019 - a module allocated for mastering new knowledge, after which students will have a spring break from April 8 to April 14, 2019;
- 04/15/2019-24 (31). 05/2019 - the last push before finishing the next academic year and leaving with peace of mind for summer holidays.

Holidays for students in the 2017 2018 academic year
During the 2017-2018 academic year, there will be fewer vacations at institutes, universities and other higher educational institutions, as students rest only in winter and summer. Each university appoints the exact vacation schedule for students depending on the dates of the sessions. Winter holidays for students begin at the end of January and end in mid-February. In the summer, student vacation dates also depend on the session and practice, which is often scheduled for June, which means that you can go on vacation only in July. Also, the practice can be postponed to August, and the holidays will begin as early as mid-June. It all depends on the particular university, therefore, in order to carefully plan your vacation, you need to clarify the data in the administration of the university. The only thing that can be said for sure is that the holidays should not be less than 6 weeks.
According to modern Russian laws, there is no single school vacation schedule in the country: in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education, educational institutions have the right to independently set the schedule for children's rest, the number of short holidays and their duration. The only exception is Moscow, where all schoolchildren study and rest according to one of two schedules: the traditional one, when the academic year is divided into four quarters, and the modular one (five weeks of study and one rest) and for each option, uniform vacation periods are established.
In other regions of Russia, educational authorities usually issue recommendations in which they offer educational institutions to set the start and end dates for vacations, leaving the final decision “at the mercy of the school administration”.
Vacations are recommended to start on Monday (so that the weekend "pluses" them), which allows not "" school weeks into parts and increase the duration of uninterrupted rest for schoolchildren. The exact duration of the holidays is also not regulated - as a rule, 30-35 days are allotted for rest during the academic year, which allows you to fully fulfill academic plan by the end of May.
Despite this freedom, most Russian schools they take a conservative approach to the issue of determining the schedule of school holidays - as a result, most of the country's schoolchildren have a rest at the same time.

However, National Unity Day this year falls on a Friday. Therefore, in some schools, the start date of the autumn holidays-2016 can be set on November 7, which will increase the duration of the holidays by joining them holiday. In this case, students will have a rest until November 13, and the duration of the rest will be 10 days.
Schedule of winter school holidays 2016-2017
The winter school holidays that fall on the New Year holidays and separate the second quarter from the third are especially loved by schoolchildren - they are the longest of all "intra-annual" ones. In addition, they coincide with the all-Russian holiday period for adults, which allows families to spend time together, including when traveling. Therefore, the timing of the winter holidays, as a rule, is of particular concern to the parents of schoolchildren.
Winter holiday for schoolchildren they begin on the last Monday of December. In 2016-2017, the "start" will be quite early - the last Monday of the month falls on number 26(that is, schoolchildren will begin to rest from Sunday, December 25th). Children will have time to properly prepare for the main holiday of winter. True, the New Year's holiday will end earlier than usual - on January 8th.
The third, longest academic quarter starts on January 9, on Monday - it is on this day that schoolchildren will have to sit down at their desks again.
Terms of additional holidays for first graders
The third quarter is especially difficult for first-graders - they are not yet accustomed to the traditional school schedule, and therefore, in the middle of the third quarter, "special" holidays are arranged for them. To the envy of all other schoolchildren, they rest at the end of February for a whole week.
In 2016-2017 academic year additional holidays will start on February 20 and will last until the 26th, coinciding with the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day.
At the same time, students will also have a rest. correctional schools– they are also subject to the rule of additional holidays.
Spring School Break Dates - 2017
Spring break most often falls in the last week of March. The 2016-2017 academic year will be no exception.
Schoolchildren will be dismissed for vacation on Monday, March 27- and they will rest for one week, until April 2. Taking into account Sunday, the duration of the March rest will be 8 days with a six-day training period, and 9 days with a five-day training regime.
April 3rd will be the first day of the fourth quarter. It will last until the end of May (depending on the school, the academic year in all grades except 9 and 11 ends between May 21 and 31), after which schoolchildren will have three months of summer vacation.
Vacation schedule in 2016-2017 with the modular training mode "5 + 1"
In those schools in Moscow where the parents of students have chosen not the classical schedule of study with the division of the academic year into four quarters, but the modular scheme "five weeks of study - one week of rest", holidays in 2016-2017 will take place at the following dates:
- from October 3 to October 9;
- from November 14 to November 20;
- from December 31 to January 8;
- from February 20 to February 26;

autumn vacation from October 31 to November 6;
winter holiday from December 26 to January 8;
spring holidays from March 27 to April 2;

How to find vacation dates at your school
As already mentioned, the exact vacation schedule in each particular school in Russia (excluding Moscow) is determined by the administration of the educational institution and may differ from the generally accepted one.
Therefore, in order to accurately plan the child's vacation, you need to clarify the dates at your school. This can be done in various ways:
Check with class teacher or the secretary. At the beginning of the school year, the vacation schedule has already been approved, and the exact dates are known to all school staff (teachers prepare work programs in subjects for the school year based on this information).
View on the school website. Information about the dates of the beginning and end of the academic year, as well as the vacation schedule should be in the section on the organization of the educational process.
If the school uses the system electronic diaries - the schedule of school holidays for 2016-2017 can also be viewed in it. Even if the school administration does not inform parents about the dates for the start and end of studies, by scrolling through the magazine forward, you can see until what date the classes are planned to be held.
