About when the autumn holidays at schools in Russia in 2018, as well as when the holidays for schoolchildren in 2019 - read the TopNews material.
When are the holidays for schoolchildren in 2018 in autumn in Russia?
Holidays are the most favorite time for students. And even those who left the walls of the school a long time ago remember the times of rest with a cheerful smile. Both students and their parents are waiting for a break in the educational process, but the autumn ones - the very first - are waiting with special impatience.
Many students, and their parents as well, notice that in different educational institutions the autumn holidays fall on different intkbbee time. The reason for this discrepancy is the learning process adopted in each particular school. The academic year can be divided either into four parts - quarters, or three - trimesters. At the end of each part, there must be a short break. The 2018-2019 academic year is no exception.
When is the autumn break for quarterly schools
As a rule, in institutions with a quarter system of education, the first holidays fall in October, most often in the last week of the month. The autumn holidays 2018-2019 will not be an exception - the rest will begin on October 29. But with the start date of the second quarter, some questions may arise.
The fact is that during the autumn holidays of the 2018-2019 academic year, National Unity Day falls - an important public holiday, and therefore a general day off. It is celebrated on November 4, Sunday. According to the law on the transfer of holidays, the day after the holiday will be a day off - Monday, November 5th. Thus, the holidays are extended for another day, and instead of seven days, schoolchildren will rest for eight whole days. And if we add to this the official weekend before the start of the holiday - Saturday October 27 (if the school has a five-day period) and Sunday October 28, then schoolchildren will have a rest in the fall for nine or even ten days.
Holidays at school for the 2018-2019 academic year by trimester calendar
Nevertheless, we can, of course, outline the approximate scope of the holidays. If any of the schools chooses a different timetable, it will in any case not differ from the one given by us by more than a week.
So, if the school works in quarters, then the holidays fall on the period from October 29 to November 5. Given that October 29 is Monday, the actual vacation will begin on October 27 or 28, depending on whether the children study on Saturday.
Recall that Monday, November 5, will be a day off due to the national holiday, which falls on the 4th.
If the school uses trimesters, then the autumn holidays will divide the school year twice:
- from 8 to 14 October,
- from 19 to 25 November.
When studying at school in quarters, the recommended rest periods in schools, gymnasiums and lyceums are 7 calendar days in autumn, 2 weeks in winter and 1 week in spring. Two additional days, at the discretion of the administration of the educational institution, can be added to the autumn or winter rest, taking into account public holidays (November 4 and New Year).
This means that the vacation schedule for 2018-2019. may include the following vacation dates:
- autumn - from October 27 to November 5, 2018;
- winter - from 12/26/2018 to 01/08/2019;
- spring - from 23 to 31 March 2019
Summer holidays begin for elementary school students on May 23-25, and for high school students (except for grades 9 and 11) - from June 1. Graduates will complete the educational process in accordance with the schedule of exams, taking place from the end of May to the end of June.
National Unity Day in 2018 falls on Sunday, so the autumn holidays of the 2018-2019 academic year will most likely begin on October 29 and end on November 5, amounting to 8 days, and taking into account the days off (October 27 and 28) - 9-10 days. During this time, students will be able to have a good rest, visit museums and theaters, go to the cinema and spend time with their parents and friends.
Autumn holidays for the modular learning system
Holidays with a modular system are calculated according to the following scheme: training - 5-6 weeks, then rest - 7 days. Children take the following breaks in their studies:
- in autumn 2018, these days fall on October 7-13 and November 18-24;
- in winter - from 12/29/2018 to 01/08/2019 and February 18-24;

For every student, winter holidays are a real holiday that children look forward to throughout the school year. And with the increase in the load on schoolchildren, the issue of good rest becomes especially important. That is why all schoolchildren and their parents want to know about the dates of the school winter holidays of 2018 in Russia in advance, because it is the days that are best used for a joint holiday with the whole family.
When will the winter holidays be in the 2017-2018 academic year
Since there are two ways of teaching in modern Russian schools: by quarters and by trimesters, then, accordingly, for different types of education there may be different dates for the beginning and end of the holidays. But regarding specifically the winter holidays of schoolchildren, in both cases, the terms should coincide, while depending on the region of the Russian Federation, as well as on the educational institution, the terms of vacation days in winter may differ slightly. Thus, the winter holidays at school in the 2017-2018 academic year are tentatively will start on December 28-30 and will last until January 9-10.
Who sets the dates for school winter holidays 2018
The Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation participates in the formation of the schedule of weekends and school days during the period of study of children throughout each year. But the actions of the Ministry are only advisory in nature. By law, each educational institution can adjust timing school holidays, so as not to get out of the schedule and fully control the educational process. In addition, Russia is a large and multinational country, with a huge number of cultural features, they also have an impact on the educational process. The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation only gives recommendations and controls that the rights of children are not infringed, and that the time of work and rest is adjusted in the most rational way. But the last word in this matter always remains with the directors of each school, lyceum or gymnasium. There is a nuance that you should be aware of. On the issue of formation, the opinion of the director can be influenced up to its complete change through the parent committee. If for some reason the parents of the students are not satisfied with the decision of the school management, then they have the right to submit their proposal, and it will be considered.
Where to relax during the winter holidays 2018
The best way to gain strength for further study is quality rest. And for children, during the holidays, it will be more than useful not only to spend time actively, but also to gain interesting impressions. Children's winter camp - this is the way of outdoor activities most often chosen by parents for their offspring. The beauty of this holiday is also that children do not have to be sent somewhere far away, you can find camps near your own village. 
Also during the winter holidays, you can go to the sea with your child or just travel around the countries to get acquainted with the culture and ways of celebrating the New Year in different parts of the world. But for starters, it would be nice to get to know her in your own country. Therefore, you can consider the option of a trip to Veliky Ustyug or Kazan - these cities will bring you and your children a lot of impressions.

The decision on when to dismiss schoolchildren on vacation in Russia is made by the educational institution itself. In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education, the duration of vacations, their start and end dates are determined by the school. Only the total duration of study and vacation periods is regulated, allowing children to cope with the curriculum without "overloads":
- the academic year for first-graders should last at least 33 weeks, for students of other classes - at least 34;
- the period of summer rest for children is at least 8 weeks;
- short vacations within the school year must total at least 30 days, and first grade students are allowed an extra week.
Despite the given freedom of choice, most Russian educational institutions adhere to the traditional scheme that developed back in Soviet times when approving the vacation schedule: four quarters, a week of rest in November, two for the New Year holidays, another week at the end of March. Regional departments of education usually send out recommended vacation dates in advance of the start of the school year, but the final decision remains with the school administration.
Moscow is an exception. Here, vacation dates are the same and are set by the Metropolitan Department of Education for two options for the study schedule - traditional (quarter) and trimester (modular), when the year is divided into equal intervals and five weeks are followed by one vacation.
In the regions, the dates may vary slightly, but the vast majority of schools, gymnasiums and lyceums will have the same curriculum.
School year start and end dates
2017-2018 academic year traditionally starts September 1, on the Day of Knowledge. This year, the first week of school will be very short - the first day of autumn falls on the calendar on Friday, so that students will have the opportunity to smoothly move from rest to study.
The end date of the school year may be slightly shifted due to the peculiarities of the academic schedule. Primary grades will be the first to leave for the summer holidays - their school year will end May 22-24. Middle and high school students will study for a few days longer, for them the last day of school will be May 25-26. In Moscow schools that have chosen a modular mode of study, high school students will sit at their desks the longest - until the 31st.
9th and 11th grade students taking final exams will be exempted from study hassle in accordance with their exam schedule. The Unified State Examination and the OGE will begin in the last week of May and will run until the end of June.
graduation parties most will pass during the period from 23 to 25 May(they are not recommended to be held on June 22, on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow), but if a student takes any exams on reserve days, his exam marathon can continue even after receiving a certificate.
Fall break dates 2017
According to a long tradition, the autumn holidays in schools are held the first week of November. In Soviet times, they were "combined" with the celebration of the anniversary of the October Revolution, but now they fall on National Unity Day, celebrated on November 4th. In 2017, the holiday will be a Saturday, and due to the postponement of the holiday to Monday, November 6, adults will have a three-day mini-vacation. For schoolchildren, these days, of course, will also be "time off" - an additional day of rest will be "added" to the usual weekly duration of the November holidays.
In most Russian schools, the autumn holidays - 2017 will be held according to the following schedule:
duration - 8-9 days;
official start– October 30 (Monday) or the previous Sunday;
last day of rest– October 6 (Monday) or October 7 (Tuesday).
Winter holidays schedule at school in 2017-2018 academic year
The middle of the school year will traditionally be marked by a two-week period of winter rest timed to coincide with the celebration of the New Year and Christmas. This is perhaps the most significant vacation of the school year. If only because the January holiday decade in Russia is the only time when both adults and children at the same time get rid of daily troubles for a long time and can plan quite long trips with the whole family. Therefore, it is especially important to find out the exact timing of the winter holidays in schools.
By tradition, schoolchildren are allowed to rest 3-4 days before the New Year, and they go “to the machine” almost simultaneously with adults - either on the same day or the next, and the period of the all-Russian weekend completely “fits” into children's holidays.
In the winter of 2017-2018, the “typical” school vacation schedule will be as follows:
duration - 14 days;
first day of rest– December 28 (Thursday);
last day of vacation– January 10 (Wednesday).
Additional holidays for first grade students - 2018
The third quarter is the longest and usually the most difficult for students. To "unload" the smallest, in February, first-grade students are given an extra week of rest. In addition, the February holidays are recommended for students of correctional schools, and in some educational institutions even the entire “primary school” can rest in February - from 1 to.
The timing of additional vacations is the most variable, in some regions they are preferred to be held at the beginning of February, and in some - at the end of the month, on the week when Defender of the Fatherland Day is celebrated.
In 2018, the first classes will rest for either a week from 5 to 11 February(this option may be the most common), or from the 17th to the 25th.
School Spring Break Schedule 2018
The date for which spring break is “aspiring” is April 1. In the fourth quarter usually began on this day. In 2018, the first day of April will be Sunday. And in most schools, the rest schedule will be like this:
duration - 8-9 days,
vacation start– March 24 (Saturday) or March 25 (Sunday);
last day of rest- April 1 (Sunday).
In some schools, the schedule may be shifted a week ahead, and students will rest a week later, April 1st to 8th.

How to find out the exact vacation dates for a child
Since the final decision on vacation dates is made by the school management, the dates of their start or end in different educational institutions may not coincide with the “average” schedule.
There are several ways to find out the vacation schedule at your school.
- Go to the official website of the school. By law, all "calendar" information must be contained there. As a rule, it is located in the "Organization of the educational process" or "Schedule" section.
- Look into the child. Vacation schedules may be posted in the announcement or parent information sections. But even if this is not the case, you can try to "scroll" the magazine for the period of the proposed vacation and "calculate" the exact dates - no lessons will be scheduled for them;
- Ask your child's class teacher. The schedule is usually approved in the summer, sometimes even earlier. By the time the school “roll calls” are held, teachers usually already have this information.
- Call the reception and check the vacation dates with the secretary of the educational institution.

Beach tours and even sea cruises for the Year of the Rooster are offered in large numbers by numerous travel agencies. Plan your vacation in advance and enjoy it, since there is enough time for this - almost two weeks, and the restored forces will be very useful for children to conquer the heights of knowledge.
Winter holidays in schools begin a few days before the new year and last approximately 14 days.
The start date of the holidays in the regions can be determined independently, as well as the start date of the holidays largely depends on the decision of the management of the school itself.
In 2016, schoolchildren will go on vacation mainly from December 29 (in some schools the date is December 26).
Winter holidays.
In schools, the winter holidays will begin as usual before the new year and will last at least 14 days.
In 2016, the winter holidays should begin on December 26, respectively, they will last until January 8, 2017.
In 2016-2017 academic year, as in the past, all schools have winter holidays. They usually fall on New Year's holidays and.
The administration of each school has the right to decide independently the start date of the holidays, usually the difference is a week.
But in our area this issue has already been resolved. the beginning of the winter holidays on December 29, and the end - on January 10 (Tuesday) - we go to school.
In different cities of Russia, the terms of the winter holidays are somewhat different.
For example, in Moscow, according to the order of the City Department of Education On the organization of the educational process for the main general education programs in the 2016-2017 academic year, holidays in general education schools will begin on December 26, 2016 and will last until January 8, 2017. Additionally, holidays for first-graders will be organized from February 20 to February 26, 2017.
In St. Petersburg, the terms of the winter holidays for the 2016-2017 academic year are set by the Education Committee. Winter holidays will begin later than in Moscow, on December 29, 2016, but they will also last longer - until January 11, 2017. Petersburgers will go to school on January 12. For first-graders in St. Petersburg, every academic year in February there are additional winter holidays lasting one week. In 2016-2017, they are also provided from February 6 to February 12, 2017.
At our school, winter holidays will begin on December 26, 2016, and end on January 9, 2017, children will go to school on January 10, 2017.
But these dates are not yet final, as weather forecasters say that this year's winter will be very cold, which may be below 20 degrees, and in such cases the holidays are extended.
Winter holidays this year will begin on December 28 and will last until January 10. But this is in general, and in particular, each school will set dates on its own, and the director of the school will deal with this issue. So the dates may shift, but not by much, by one or two days. After all, it is impossible to foresee such things as the flu epidemic and other unexpected circumstances. But you still need to run the program.
In each city, the start and end dates of holidays are set by the Department of Education. We have for 2016-2017. winter holidays will be established from December 26, 2016 to January 8, 2017.
On January 9, 2017, classes will begin for schoolchildren. For elementary school students, additional holidays are provided in February for a week. In addition, if the winter is cold, as forecasters promise, and frosts are below -20 degrees, then perhaps the children will receive additional holidays.
Now the school itself determines the timing of the holidays. The main thing is that the total number of vacation days (except for the summer holidays) should be 30. At my daughter's school, at the parent meeting, they announced that the autumn holidays would be from October 29 to November 6. And the winter holidays will begin on December 29 and end on January 10.
The usual duration of the longest school holidays during the school year - winter - is at least 2 weeks. This is usually the week before the New Year and the week after the New Year. The last week of vacation is exciting too.
For the 2016-2017 academic year, the New Year holidays for schoolchildren begin on Monday, December 26 and will last until Monday, January 9, inclusive.
On Tuesday, January 10, 2017, a new academic quarter (or trimester, semester - as is customary in which school) will begin for schoolchildren.
