How long is spring break. Holidays in quarters
In order to create conditions for organized recreation for children, ensuring the safety of life and health of schoolchildren, the implementation of a unified plan of activities with students during vacation time, the Moscow Department of Education recommends the following vacation periods
School holidays schedule 2014/2015 - spring, autumn, new year
Beginning of the academic year 2014-2015 - (PRE)
September 1 (Monday)
Autumn holidays 2014 -from 10/27/2014 to 11/05/2014 (8 days)
New Year holidays 2014-2015 -from 27.12.2014 to 11.01.2015 (16 days)
Spring break -03/21/2015 to 03/29/2015 (9 days)
When it comes to the timing of the school holidays, it will certainly seem to many that there are strictly defined rules that prescribe any dates for the beginning and end of this period of schoolchildren's rest. In fact, vacation periods often “walk” on the calendar and sometimes coincide with some major events that are held in the building of an educational institution - for example, with the November elections
This is because at the legislative level the right to decide on the timing of vacations is assigned to the administration of a single school. Nevertheless, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation constantly issues recommendations, which most schools are guided by.
How the vacation calendar is formed
Traditionally, holidays are tied to the start of a new school week: autumn start on the first Monday in November; winter- on the last Monday of December; spring on the last Monday in March. Summer vacation usually starts on May 25, the day of the last call.
Vacations are also divided into “long” and “short”: autumn and spring usually last about a week, winter - two or three, and summer, standing apart, for three whole months.
Vacation dates are determined in advance - at the beginning of each academic year. Therefore, no one, in principle, is immune from resting two or three weeks earlier than the usual “vacation”. And if this practically does not happen in public schools, then the leaders of private schools often allow themselves large discrepancies with the traditional timing of the holidays.
Every year, all schoolchildren look forward to the hour when they can finally take a break from busy school days. We will talk about how the school holidays will begin and end in the 2015-2016 academic year.
This information will be useful not only for students, but also for their parents. By carefully studying the vacation schedule, students will be able to pull up the "tails" in advance by the end of the reporting period, and parents will have the opportunity to plan their own vacation or children's entertainment plan during the break from school.
School holidays schedule
In the Russian Federation, there are no rules that clearly regulate the schedule of holidays at school. The Ministry of Education and Science approved the recommended dates for their implementation, however, the exact vacation schedule is approved by the council of each school and fixed by order of the director.
As a rule, school holidays begin at the beginning of the school week, that is, from Monday.
- Autumn vacation- the beginning of the autumn holidays is often scheduled for the last Monday in October. The duration of school autumn rest is usually 7-10 days.
- The winter vacation- in most cases, the beginning of the New Year holidays falls on the last week of December. Winter holidays last from two weeks to 20 days.
- Spring break- as usual, they begin on Monday of the last week of March and last 7-10 days.
- Summer vacation– the most long-awaited and warmest summer holidays start on May 24 or 25. The kids will have a rest all three months until the beginning of September.
Indicative vacation schedule in public schools for the 2015-2016 academic year:
Despite the ability of the administration of each school to independently set the timing of the planned rest from the educational process, recently educational institutions have begun to return to a single format, which is most common in the country's schools.
Autumn vacation
The first break from school is scheduled for October 26th. The holidays will last until November 1st. Therefore, including the previous weekend, the kids will have the opportunity to postpone the textbooks for as much as 9 days. Fall break ends on Monday, November 2nd.
It is possible that some schoolchildren will be more lucky: if the school management decides to slightly extend the rest due to the holiday on November 4 and two pre-holiday days, then it will be necessary to return to knowledge only from Thursday, November 5.
winter holidays
On winter days free from school, two wonderful holidays fall - New Year and Christmas. Winter holidays are good because parents at the same time are also on a legal vacation and, together with their children, can fully enjoy spending time together.
The years will start on December 28th. Thus, schoolchildren will be able to devote a full two weeks to rest. The fabulous 14 days for the children will expire on Sunday, January 10, and on January 11, the students will have to take up the "granite of science" again.
At the end of February, first-graders will have an additional winter vacation for a period of one week.
spring break
In the spring, when the sun warms the air more and more, nature comes to life, and the school year begins to come to an end, spring break provides students with a short break before intense study in April and May.
The 2016 Spring Break schedule promises a week of free school days for kids. The break begins on March 28, and if we take into account the two previous weekends, the guys will be able to rest for 9 whole days. You will need to return to school desks on Monday, April 4th.
It is also worth considering, on the days of which it will be possible to take a breath before the exams: these are May 1 and 2, May 7, 8, 9.
The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation recommends that schools, lyceums, gymnasiums and other educational institutions set the following vacation dates for the 2015-2016 academic year.
We have prepared for you an up-to-date educational calendar for the 2016-2017 academic year.

It is also necessary to recall that vacation dates are only recommended by the Ministry of Education, and the final decision on the timing and duration of vacations remains with the teachers' council of educational institutions.
Additional holidays or postponement of holidays in schools and other educational institutions are possible for the following reasons:
- Low air temperature- minus 25 degrees Celsius for elementary school; minus 28 degrees - for high school; minus 30 degrees for students in grades 10 and 11.
- Low temperature in classrooms. When the air temperature in the classrooms is below +18 degrees, classes are prohibited.

Please note that the academic calendar for 2015-2016 is a recommendation. These times may vary and are subject to change.
An interesting fact is that the terms of school holidays themselves do not change from year to year, but the end and start dates for this rest period are constantly shifting. Therefore, for parents every year, starting in the fall, the question of how the terms of the school holidays were distributed in the new academic year becomes relevant. 2015-2016 is no exception.
School holidays 2015-2016: the academic year, Moscow or other cities differ in that, according to the current legislation, vacation periods can be set personally by the administration of a particular educational institution. Of course, the authorities send a recommended schedule to schools every year. And in recent years, schools have been trying to adhere to this schedule.
Terms, speaking in general terms, are set in such a way that the short autumn and spring holidays begin with the weekend and end with them. In such a situation, children will be able to relax not for a week, but a little more.
Important! In the 2015-2016 academic year, holidays in Moscow can take place according to two schedules. The classic option is when the academic year is divided into 4 quarters. Then the autumn and spring holidays will be short, the winter holidays last two weeks. The second option, when the year passes according to the modular scheme, then every 5-6 weeks of vacation there will be a week off. The schools themselves determine which of the schedules is better to study.
About quarter holidays
School holidays 2015-2016: academic year, the Moscow Department of Education quarterly determined that the autumn holidays should begin on Saturday October 31 and end on Sunday November 8. It turns out that the short autumn holidays will last 9 days, if weekends are included. By the way, during the holidays there is an official state holiday - Day of National Unity.
As for the winter holidays, to coincide with the New Year holidays, they will last 16 days. Holidays will begin on Saturday, December 26 and end only on Sunday, January 10 in the new year.
Important! First-graders will have additional holidays in February, as provided for by law. In the middle of the long third quarter, first-graders will be able to have an additional rest from February 8 to 14.
Spring break will be as short as fall break. They will start on Saturday March 19 and last exactly nine days, that is, they will end on March 27, which falls on Sunday. In some schools, the holidays will be held in the spring a week later, then they will begin on Saturday, March 26 and end on the third of April.
Schedule 5(6)+1
How will school holidays be distributed 2015-2016: academic year, Moscow 5/1? Such a system of education is called modular, and children rest according to a free schedule. They study for five or six weeks and then take a week off. With such a system of education, students have five vacations during the year, that is, one more period of days off than when studying in quarters.
Schedule of modular holidays 2015-2016:
- 5-11.10;
- 16-22.11;
- 30.12 – 05.01;
- 15-21.02;
- 4-10.04;
School holidays 2015-2016: academic year, Moscow in trimesters
Another option for how study periods can be distributed throughout the year is trimesters. In such a situation, of course, the scope of the holidays will also be different. From October 5 to 11, as well as from November 16 to 22, autumn holidays will be held.
The dates of the winter holidays are similar to the teaching of schoolchildren in quarters. They will start on December 31st and end on January 10th. That is, a ten-day New Year's holiday throughout the country just fits into the framework of these holidays. Additionally, when studying in trimesters, students will have a rest from February 15 to February 22. Spring break falls on 04-12 April. Summer holidays will start at the end of May and they must be at least eight weeks long.
School holidays 2015-2016: the academic year, Moscow or other cities, as can be understood from this material, are distributed depending on which form of education is chosen at a particular school. It can be quarters, trimesters, or the 5(6)/1 system. Be that as it may, but in any system of education, students can enjoy a well-deserved vacation, shorter or less short, as well as more or less times during the school year.
According to the law, Russian schools themselves can set vacation times - this is the prerogative of the administration of the educational institution. However, education authorities annually issue Recommended schedule for school holidays and the vast majority of educational institutions adhere to it.
As a rule, the terms of short autumn and spring school holidays are set so that they begin with the weekend and end with them - in this case, the children rest for a whole week, and not two halves.
In Moscow schools, starting from the 2015-2016 academic year, holidays will be held according to one of two schedules - the classic one, when the academic year is divided into four quarters with short autumn and two-week winter holidays (this is how most Russian schools study) or according to a modular scheme, when 5-6 weeks of study alternate with one week of rest. According to which of these two schedules the school works is determined by the council of the educational institution.
Fall break dates 2015
The duration of the autumn holidays will be 9 days, including weekends. By tradition, the holidays coincide with the week when the Day of National Unity is celebrated in Russia.
When schoolchildren have winter holidays 2015-2016

Winter holidays start on December 26 () January 10 (Sunday). The end date of the school holidays coincides with the end of the All-Russian New Year holidays - January 11 will be the first working day after the New Year and Christmas and the first day of the third academic quarter.
Additional holidays for first graders in 2016
In the middle of the third, longest quarter, first-graders are waiting for an additional short vacation. They will start February 8 (Monday) and will continue for exactly one week. Vacation end date February 14, Sunday.
Spring Break Schedule 2016
Traditional Spring holiday week will start for schoolchildren on March 19, on Saturday - it will be the first day of the March holidays. Their duration will be the same as in autumn - 9 days.
In some schools, spring break will be held a week later - from March 26 to April 3 - starting a new quarter from April is more familiar for many.
Holiday dates for the "5(6)+1" schedule
Schoolchildren whose academic year is built not in quarters, but according to the 5 (6) + 1 modular system, will rest according to a special schedule: the study period, which includes five or six weeks, will alternate with weekly holidays. There will be five such short holidays during the academic year.

- School holidays schedule for 2015-2016 academic year
At the moment, the Ministry of Education has not yet approved the schedule of school holidays for the next academic year. But, if it is already important for us to understand now when the schoolchildren will rest, we can try to make 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 the article we will consider the "classic" school schedule: four quarters, holidays between them, and additional holidays for those who are in school for the first year.
The first day of school in the 2017-2018 academic year is September 1. In 2017, this day falls on a Friday.
Autumn holidays usually fall at the end of October and beginning of November. In 2017, autumn break is expected to start on Saturday, October 28th. The last day of the autumn holidays 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 on the week that begins on February 19.
Summer holidays, as in other academic years, will begin on June 1, and for students in grades 1-4 - on May 25, and for students in grades 9 and 11, the academic year will end according to the final assessment schedule.
Finally, we note that all the deadlines determined by the Ministry are in the nature of recommendations. Whether to follow them, the school decides for itself, and, if necessary, can move the holidays in one direction or another.
