education abroad

Earlier this month we shared some tips for helping your kids deal with moving to a new country. In the blog post we emphasised how important it is to make your kids excited about the move before you go. So what's one of the easiest ways to get kids excited? School holidays! In this post we're going to look at the different school holidays around the world to see how they differ from country to country.

USA

In America, the school holiday runs from June until September, and there's a break at Christmas starting a week or so before Christmas day and lasting up until one week after New Year's Day. Although the vast majority of schools across America follow this schedule each education district has the jurisdiction to select their own holidays so dates across the country can vary.
