School holiday calendar for the year. School holiday schedule

Order of the Moscow Department of Education dated 03/09/2017 No. 52r “On recommended vacation dates”:

Vacations are an unusually “tasty” and pleasant topic for discussion. Children (and parents too - let’s be honest!) are waiting for them almost from the first day of school. Therefore, discuss what the school holidays will be like in 2017 – 2018 academic year, will not be superfluous even in the midst of hot summer days.
All holidays for the 2017–2018 academic year will, as before, be regulated by the Ministry of Education. Or rather, the Ministry of Education gives recommendations, and whether to follow them or not is up to the school. As a rule, this issue is resolved at the beginning of the year at the School Council and is fixed by order of the director. The choice largely depends on internal regulations educational institution, namely: training takes place in quarters or trimesters at one or another alma mater.
Now a little more specific.

School holidays 2017-2018 academic year: autumn, winter, spring

Autumn holidays 2017from October 29 to November 6, 2017
For those who study in trimesters, autumn will give you a short break twice: from 2 to 8 October And from November 13 to November 19, 2017.

New Year holidays We have in common: all schoolchildren rest for two weeks, regardless of whether they study in quarters or trimesters. from December 31, 2017 to January 10, 2018 schoolchildren will be completely free.

Additional holidays – February 18 – February 25 – are provided for 1st grade students, and also in some cases for 2-4 grades in agreement with local governing bodies.

With modular training mode schedule school holidays for 2017-2018 is somewhat different from the traditional one. Vacation dates:
October 1 – October 8, 2017
November 5 – November 12, 2017
December 31 – January 10, 2018
February 18 – February 25, 2018
April 8 – April 15, 2018

The end of the school year in a “traditional” school is scheduled for May, 23rd(or May 26, if there were additional holidays during the year)

It should be clarified that the Order is advisory in nature, and the timing of the holidays in each specific school may vary slightly.

How is the school holiday calendar formed?

So, if school is taught in quarters, children have rest 4 times a year:
Autumn: 9 days in the last week of October and the first week of November (including weekends)
In winter: last days December and 10 days in January - a total of 14 days.
In spring: last 7 days of March
Summer: three summer months
For first-graders and students in special classes, additional winter week holidays
If educational institution studies in trimesters, then students will study for 5 weeks and rest for 1 week. With the exception of the New Year holidays - they are the same for everyone.

However, I repeat: the school has the right to adjust the rest time itself, so in different cities and in different schools Vacation dates may vary. Of course, if the school is private, then it decides this issue absolutely independently and has the right not to be guided by the recommendations of the Ministry of Education. Vacation time Such schools may differ significantly from public schools.
I would like to wish everyone a good rest, but I would like to wish you good work, because whoever is in harmony with work is not at odds with rest. Right?

By law, Russian schools can set their own 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 timing of short autumn and spring school holidays is set so that they begin and end with weekends - in this case, children rest for a whole week, and not for two halves.


In Moscow schools, starting from the 2015-2016 academic year, vacations will take place according to one of two schedules - the classic one, when the school year is divided into four quarters with short autumn and two-week winter holidays (this is how the majority study Russian schools) or according to a modular scheme, when 5-6 weeks of study alternate with one week of rest. Which of these two schedules the school operates on is determined by the board of the educational institution.

Dates of autumn holidays in 2015


The duration of the autumn holidays will be 9 days, including weekends. By tradition, the holidays coincide in time with the week when Russia celebrates the Day of national unity.

When are schoolchildren's winter holidays 2015-2016

Schoolchildren will be able to celebrate the New Year holidays for 16 days - this is exactly the duration of their winter holiday.


The winter vacation start on December 26 () January 10 (Sunday). The end date of school holidays coincides with the end of the All-Russian New Year's holidays– January 11 will be the first working day after 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 will have an additional short vacation. They will begin February 8 (Monday) and will last exactly a week. Vacation end date – February 14, Sunday.

Spring break schedule 2016

Traditional Spring holiday week will begin for schoolchildren on March 19, on Saturday - it will be the first day of March break. Their duration will be the same as that of autumn - 9 days.



Some schools will be held a week later - from March 26 to April 3 - starting a new quarter in April is more common for many.


Vacation dates with the schedule “5(6)+1”

Schoolchildren whose academic year is structured not according to, but according to the modular system “5(6)+1”, will rest according to a special schedule: school period, comprising five or six weeks, will alternate with a week's vacation. There will be five such short holidays throughout the school year.


Vacation schedule according to the modular schedule in 2015-2016:


  • October 5-11

  • November 16-22

  • December 30 - January 5

  • February 15-21

  • April 4–10.

The new school year has just begun, but schoolchildren are probably already tired of a series of lessons and homework. Fortunately, the opportunity to take a break from everyday school life will present itself very soon - just around the corner autumn vacation. IN different regions their dates may differ slightly, but one way or another, the holidays partially coincide with the long weekend on the occasion of the celebration of National Unity Day. Read on to learn how to have fun and usefully relax with the whole family, and where to go with your children on vacation.

When do the 2014 autumn holidays in schools begin and end?

A month and a half of study flew by unnoticed. Very soon, schoolchildren will go on autumn holidays. They will not last long - only 8 days. Most students will have a holiday from October 27 to November 5, 2014. However, the dates may differ in different schools, since the issue of the timing of the holidays is decided by the administration of each educational institution individually in accordance with the recommendations of the regional education committee. In some cities, for example, in St. Petersburg, schoolchildren will have a vacation from November 3 to 9.

School holiday dates for the 2014–2015 school year

Knowing the school holiday schedule is useful not only for schoolchildren, but also for their parents. After all, many people plan trips and trips in advance, buying or booking tickets in advance. As already mentioned, there are no uniform vacation dates in Russia; each school determines them independently. However, there are some traditions and recommendations from regional ministries and departments of education. So the Moscow Department of Education proposed the following vacation schedule for the 2014/2015 school year:

  • Autumn holidays – from October 27 to November 5 (8 days);
  • Winter holidays - from December 29 to January 12 (14 days);
  • Spring break– from March 23, 2015 to April 1, 2015 (9 days);
  • Summer holidays start on June 1st.

However, soon the capital’s schoolchildren will have their holidays according to a single schedule. In October-November 2014, Muscovites will vote on the duration of the school holidays. There will be 3 options to choose from: traditional rest 4 times a year, trimesters with two long holidays, or a modular mode, when a five-week study period is followed by a week of rest. You can vote for any of them from October 27 to November 30 on the Active Citizen portal.
