The children had four holidays a year and the longest holidays were summer, three months of freedom. in Moscow: the table helps everyone check it, because now the schedule “floats” every year.

There is probably no child in the country who does not anxiously watch the calendar, counting how many weeks are left before the holidays. Teachers also don’t let you forget; it’s important for them that the children pass their “tails” before rest and work out all the gaps. After all, at the end of the quarter, everyone receives a final grade. Therefore, subject teachers assign tests shortly before the holidays. True, just a few years ago the schedule was constant and approved, both teachers, students and parents knew it. But now he “floats” every year. Why does this happen and when to plan a vacation for children in 2017?

Reasons for the new “floating” schedule

Modern Russian laws speak directly - there is currently no approved, unified schedule for school classes and holidays. The Ministry has given schools the right to independently plan the number of days of rest and activities for children. How long will the short vacation periods last, how long will you rest in the summer? As do all extracurricular activities, such as summer detention.

Parents need to know one thing: when choosing a school for a child, find out what system they teach there. Traditional, where there are four quarters in a year and, accordingly, they rest as all schoolchildren used to do, or modular (when children study for five weeks and rest for one). Vacations 2016-2017 academic year in Moscow: each option has its own table and clear dates for the upcoming holidays are established. This is the situation in Moscow itself. Every year, educational authorities provide the regions with written recommendations setting the dates for the duration of the holidays. But these are only recommendations, not clear orders. The final decision rests with school administrations.

After which the last, final quarter will begin on April 3. Usually teachers remind the children that this is the last push and they need to try to get good annual grades. It does not last long, traditionally until May (the school administration itself decides when the last school day will come, because then perhaps some extracurricular activities will be planned for the last bell and a time for preparation needs to be agreed upon), but usually the end of the school year falls on the period from 21 to May 31, after which the guys will be released for three whole months.

Training schedule for modular schools with the “5+1” mode

This recently adopted innovation, along with the Western example of education, where children in some gymnasiums study as students and rest only a couple of times a year, is practiced by some schools. Usually, parents will find out in advance the features of the educational process of the chosen school and the holidays of the 2016-2017 academic year in Moscow: the table in modular schools will be as follows:

Autumn first October 3 to October 9;
autumn second November 14 to November 20;
winter first December 31 to January 8;
winter second February 20 to February 26;
spring April 10 to April 16.

With such a schedule, you can also plan a joint vacation with your child, as well as all his extracurricular activities. This way, schoolchildren can rest more often and the educational process is divided into smaller layers than their comrades from traditional educational institutions.

Schedule for schoolchildren for all quarters

Moscow schools, where the process is organized in the usual way and is divided into the usual 1 quarters, the children will rest as follows:

Autumn October 31 – November 6;
winter December 26-January 8;
spring March 27 – April 2;
summer (May 21-31) – September 1;
and additional holidays (for first-graders) on February 20-26.

Moreover, the latter was introduced recently, noting how difficult the educational process is for the little ones who went to kindergarten last year.

From whom can I find out the school schedule?

It is clear that there is no single schedule approved for everyone and each school (gymnasium, private institution, college) is forced to set its own work schedule. Therefore, it is impossible to find out accurate information on the website of the Ministry of Education on vacation dates. Parents are usually notified of the new schedule at a meeting on or shortly after September 1st when the PTA meets for the first or second time. Holidays 2016-2017 academic year in Moscow: the table is sometimes posted on the notice board below and then it is available to everyone. But if this is not the case, you can find out your child’s schedule in different ways:

Visit your school’s website - yes, now many schools (not only private schools and gymnasiums) have their own websites. It contains the address of the institution, full name, all awards and features of the curriculum and, of course, the schedule. It is updated annually.
if your school uses a new electronic diary system through which parents can find out all the grades of their child. It contains not only the teachers' comments, but also the year's schedule. Sometimes teachers do not inform parents about the schedule, but they are sure to fill out diaries.

Holidays 2016-2017 school year in Moscow: the table on the school website or in the electronic diary is available for download.

The vacation schedule at schools, universities and secondary vocational education institutions in Moscow is approved individually for each educational institution by its director, rector or other decision-maker. In practice, the vacation schedule rarely differs from the recommendations of a higher authority.

Russian schools live according to two academic “calendars”: quarters and trimesters. Depending on this, and also based on the recommendations of the Ministry of Education, educational institutions themselves determine the dates of the holidays. In general, it is beneficial for the school to adhere to the generally established framework, since general holidays mean greater opportunities for organizing quality children's leisure time: performances, excursions, concerts, etc.

Holidays in schools with a quarterly education system

Those who study in quarters have holidays four times a year - autumn, winter, spring and summer.

Autumn holidays 2019–2020 academic year

Of these, the dates of the autumn holidays at the end of October and the beginning of November are less stable: their end date depends on National Unity Day, which is celebrated on November 4.

New Year holidays 2019–2020 academic year

New Year holidays, as a rule, begin in the last week of December and end on the 10th of January. Schoolchildren go to school on Monday. Winter holidays will continue for the 2019/2020 academic year from December 31 to January 12. First-graders will have additional holidays in winter* – from 17 to 24 February.

Spring break 2019–2020 school year

The situation with holidays in the spring is much simpler - the dates do not depend on holidays. Spring break falls in the last week of March and the first week of April. In 2020, schoolchildren will have a rest from March 23 to March 31.

Summer holidays 2019–2020 academic year

Summer holidays will start as usual - from June 1 to September 1 Schoolchildren are waiting for three whole happy months free from lessons.

* For students of first grades and classes of correctional and developmental education.

In addition to scheduled holidays, school classes may be canceled for the following reasons:

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, it will not be superfluous to discuss what the school holidays will be like in the 2017-2018 school year, 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 the internal routine of the educational institution, namely: studies are conducted 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 2017 –from 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 19, 2017.

New Year holidays We have in common: all schoolchildren have a two-week vacation, 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 The school holiday schedule 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: the last days of December and 10 days in January - a total of 14 days.
In spring: last 7 days of March
Summer: three summer months
An additional winter week of vacation is provided for first-graders and students in special classes.
If an educational institution operates 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 vacation time itself, so the vacation dates may vary in different cities and in different schools. 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. The holiday hours of 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 the way, for planning a vacation - a calendar

Every day, the time to go to school for their first bell, for their first time, is inexorably approaching for future first-graders and we are sure that they are all looking forward to it with special impatience and excitement, like those high school students for whom this will be the last September 1st. the first bell at their home school.

Everyone is waiting for this day, which, whether for first-graders or future graduates, will open a new stage in their lives, because for some it will open a new world, and for others it will complete the cycle of learning and slightly open the door to a completely different, already adult life.

On September 1, 2017, thousands of Russian schools will open their doors to more than one and a half million first-graders, as well as millions of older schoolchildren, including those for whom this will be the last September 1st at school, then a completely different, already a more responsible life, where they will be more responsible for themselves, make decisions on their own, and universities, colleges, military service, work, family, and so on await them, this is what awaits them at the next stage of their life.

What date for school 2017 - September 1

Like first-graders, Tat and all other students of Russian schools, it is interesting now to know when there will be rest days, from what date and on what date, when they begin and end, what date they should go to school after a fun, but short rest, which is called school break.

Let’s say right away that in the 2017 academic year, school holidays in the fall, winter (New Year’s), spring and additional for first-graders, the dates and timing of their implementation, will be developed by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, and already approved by each school independently, its administration and taking into account local features.

School holidays 2017

Before moving on to the topic of the 2017 school holidays, when they begin and going to school after a holiday in the fall, winter or spring - do not forget that you may be given homework on the days of rest, which must be completed. Come back to school after the school holidays with your obligations fulfilled, having received adequate preparation in your lagging school subjects. site/node/5648

Spend time during the school holidays not only walking and having fun, but also for your own benefit, so that your performance does not decrease after the days of rest, but on the contrary, after the holidays you increase your knowledge, because this is necessary, first of all, for yourself and no one else.

Typically, school autumn, winter or spring holidays coincide with those dates and dates that are generally accepted, and this will certainly be the case in the 2017 academic year in all Russian schools, with rare exceptions.

Autumn holidays 2017 academic year

Dates of autumn holidays (approximate) – October 28 (Saturday) - November 5 (Monday) 2017

What date does school start after the autumn holidays - November 6

Winter holidays 2017 academic year

Winter holiday dates (approximate) – December 23 (Saturday) 2017 - January 9 (Tuesday) 2018

What date does school start after winter break - January 10

Additional holidays for the 2017 school year

Additional holidays (for first-graders) – February 17 (Saturday) – February 25 (Sunday) 2018

What date does school start after additional holidays - February 26

Spring break 2017 school year

Spring break dates (approximate) – March 24 (Saturday) to April 1 (Sunday) 2018

What date does school start after spring break - April 2

As you already understood, the timing (dates) of school holidays is determined and approved by the administration of each individual Russian school, taking into account some local or regional characteristics, as well as natural, religious or some other reasons, independently developed and approved. site/node/5648

At the same time, almost all school institutions and other educational institutions in our vast country try not to deviate from the recommendations for the timing of school holidays, which are established and approved officially, on the same level as the Russian Ministry of Education.

As you already understand, in some Russian schools, the period of school holidays may be shifted in terms, their beginnings and endings may differ from those established by the domestic Ministry of Education and Science, which does not in any way affect the training course, which is the same for everyone.

This is most often due to the type of training conducted in a particular school. In some educational institutions, students study in quarters, but there are a number of those where education takes place in trimesters.

School holidays in quarters 2017

Those students of Russian schools who study in quarters take vacations every academic year at approximately the same time (except for force majeure circumstances), namely:

Autumn holidays for schoolchildren last nine days (including two Saturdays and two Sundays), they begin on the last Saturday in October and end a week later on the first Sunday in November.

Winter holidays for Russian schoolchildren last differently (usually two weeks), they usually begin on the last Saturday of December and last until January 9-12, depending on the holidays that fall on the weekend; the New Year holidays also last differently.

Spring holidays (spring) last like the autumn holidays for nine days and also including two Saturdays and two Sundays in March and April. Spring holidays begin on the last Saturday in March and end a week later, on the first Sunday in April.

Summer holidays also last differently in Russian schools, primarily depending on the classes - but officially in the summer holidays begin on June 1 and continue until the last day of summer on August 31. High school students are, of course, limited in their summer holidays due to the need to take school exams.

Additional school holidays for first grade students are also provided; they occur in the last month of winter. First graders have an extra week off from the third Saturday of February to the fourth Sunday of the same month. Due to their young age and our climatic conditions, they need more time to rest.

School holidays by trimester 2017

Unlike learning in quarters, the trimester type is a little simpler and more transparent. Students in this type of education attend classes for five weeks, after which they have a week of rest in the form of school holidays. The exception is the winter holidays for the New Year, which take place as standard for both types of training.

Period (dates) of autumn holidays 2017

You and I all studied and remember how difficult it is to get involved in school studies after a long summer holiday; we looked forward with great impatience to at least a short period of rest, which came at the end of the autumn month of October.

The school autumn holidays of the upcoming 2017 school season, one might say the most anticipated, will come in the deciduous period of autumn, at the very end of October. For nine days (together with weekends), a national holiday falls - Unity Day (November 4), so the rest period will be lengthened and schoolchildren will go to school after rest not on Monday, but on Tuesday, November 7.

Number of holidays in autumn 2017 - 10 days

(including weekends and holidays)

For those Russian schoolchildren who study not in quarters, but in the trimester type of education, one might say they are lucky; they will have two holidays in the fall:

Approximately the school holidays this fall of the coming 2017 for those Russian students who study in trimesters will last for seven days (9 days including weekends) - from October 9 to 15 and from November 20 to 26.

Period (dates) of winter holidays 2017

It is no secret that all Russian schoolchildren are in a special mood and are looking forward to the arrival of the New Year and the onset of the winter holidays, which are quite long in terms of rest days and are the most loved by many of them.

After all, this is a blessed winter time, not only when Father Frost and the Snow Maiden should come to visit with their congratulations and New Year's gifts, but also an opportunity to play snowballs, go sledding, skiing or skating, as well as take plenty of time off from homework and the need to complete schoolwork. hometasks.

Winter holidays during the coldest time of 2017 divide schooling, as it were, in half, into two parts. During this fertile period for all schoolchildren, they, together with adults, their parents or older brothers and sisters, spend their days of rest at home or go to visit their relatives, grandparents, and some mothers and fathers will give a surprise in the form of a small New Year's Eve travel, for example, on an excursion to a country or a Russian city with ancient sights.

The duration of the winter holidays is the same in all Russian schools, for students studying in quarters and trisemesters, but it lasts differently, approximately two weeks, it all depends on whether holidays fall on the weekend, which is why the winter holidays may shift.

The school New Year holidays of the upcoming 2017 school season can be said to be the most beloved and long-awaited, and they will begin at the end of the first month of winter, December. In total, schoolchildren will rest for quite a few days in a row, if you count their beginning on December 23, 2017 and ending on the 9th day of January 2018 (including weekends and transfers).

Number of winter holidays for the New Year 2017 - 18 days

All Russian schools will begin training on Tuesday, January 10, 2018. By the way, our entire huge country goes to work on this January day (officially).

Additional holidays for first-graders (first-graders) 2017

The first class will rest for another week next winter, in the last month of winter, from the 17th (Saturday) to the 25th (Sunday) of February 2018.

Spring break period(s) 2017

Next spring will end the 2017 school year and, as always, this is not the best time to gain knowledge, when everything is blooming and smelling, the sun is getting brighter, and it’s getting warmer outside. In the spring, schoolchildren especially do not want to study, cram for school science and attend classes.

In the spring, warm weather gradually sets in, there is only a mood to walk and socialize, but there is nothing to study, and there are tests, tests, tests and exams ahead. Therefore, spring break couldn’t come at a better time, because it’s a great opportunity to take a break from school lessons and assignments, gather your thoughts and gain strength before the “decisive battles,” prepare for an important period, tests and assessments, etc.

The spring break for the 2017 school year will run from March 24 (Saturday) until April 1 (Sunday) 18. Educational school Russian institutions will begin teaching schoolchildren on this April Fool's Day, which is not a laughing matter for schoolchildren.

Number of holidays in spring 2017-2018 - 9 days

(including weekends and holidays and taking into account transfers)

For those Russian schoolchildren who study on a trimester type of education, school holidays in the spring of 2017-2018 will take place from Saturday, March 30, until Sunday, April 8, inclusive (a total of 9 days).

Period (dates) of summer holidays 2017-2018

The period of school holidays for primary and secondary school students in the summer period of the year, lasting as long as 3 months, will begin the summer school year 2017-2018 - from the 1st day of June to the last day of summer on August 31st.

As for school graduates after the academic year 2017-2018, they have a completely different schedule, they have an order of magnitude fewer days of rest - the first month of summer is the time for exams, preparation for practice, and for those who graduated from school, they will prepare for admission to university or college.

Primary and secondary school students, as well as those who are about to graduate in the next school year - do not forget that the summer school holidays are a wonderful period in your life. when you can rest, gain strength, and so on.

But also remember that September 1 will come anyway, it will certainly come and test your knowledge, which you either lost over the summer or gained something. Do not forget that summer holidays are needed not only for relaxation and fun, but also so that you can improve those subjects in which you had problems during the past school year.

In conclusion, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the length of school holidays in different European countries. Let's say right away that Russia, along with Ukraine and Turkey, are leaders in the total duration of vacation days - they have 18 weeks of vacation each. As for the European “outsiders”, those countries that have the shortest holidays, here the “leaders” are Denmark - 11 weeks, as well as the Czech Republic, Macedonia and Northern Ireland - 12 weeks of school holidays per academic year.

Vacations are a long-awaited time for any student. Many people begin to want to take a break from classes from the first days of the term. Schoolchildren actively make plans for their free time, especially high school students who do not have much of it.

Parents are also not lagging behind - many of them try to take time off during the holidays to spend time with their children. Therefore, knowing in advance what dates the holidays fall on is important for many.

Check out the school holiday schedule

Depending on the school's operating hours, the holidays take place at different times, coinciding only with the New Year holidays.

Please select which one education system your school is working.

How are vacation dates determined?

The holiday calendar is determined by the Department of Education. However, there are pitfalls here. In particular, the established dates are advisory.

That is, the administration of educational institutions has the right to independently adjust the vacation schedule in accordance with the curriculum or any other internal factors. However, the changed dates should not be shifted more than two weeks from the official holiday dates.

Another reason for differences in vacation schedules is different forms of education. Some schools traditionally study in quarters, while others have switched to a more modern modular system - education in trimesters. Accordingly, the vacation schedule differs, and the Department of Education gives separate recommendations on dates.

Question about one-time holidays

The permissible freedom in setting the vacation schedule is the reason that in Moscow, St. Petersburg and the regions they often do not take place simultaneously. The question of whether this is correct has been actively discussed lately. One-time holidays would make it more convenient to hold various events for schoolchildren, including Olympiads. True, they have not yet reached a common opinion, and apparently, schools do not want to lose their privilege to determine the rest time for students themselves.

Vacations in secondary vocational education institutions

• Winter holidays: from December 30, 2019 to January 12, 2020.
• Summer holidays: from June 29, 2020 to August 31, 2020.

Vacations in higher education institutions

• Winter holidays: from January 25 to February 9, 2020.
• Summer holidays: at least 35 days according to the approved educational process schedule.

In addition to scheduled holidays, school classes may be
