How do school terms and holidays work in America?
In America school usually starts in early September and goes until early June. Then about three months off for summer (your winter, of course). We usually get a week or two off at Christmas/New Years’. Many schools have 4 quarters of 9 weeks each, but some schools use a trimester system with three tri’s of 12 weeks each. We get a day or two off for Easter, and a week of spring break, usually in March no matter where Easter falls that year. Our school time is much more lumped together than yours, with the vacation all at once instead of spread throughout the year. Which would you like better?
