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.
Dates may vary slightly in the regions, 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, the 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 are simultaneously freed from 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 holidays 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.
Official vacation schedule for Moscow schools: traditional and trimester (modular) modes of study
In the capital, vacation dates for the 2017-2018 academic year are dictated by a special order from the city's Department of Education. It was signed on 03/09/2017.
In accordance with the order in schools where children study on, holidays will be announced:
in October- from 1 to 8 number;
In November- from 5 to 12 (in fact, children will start resting a day earlier, November 4 is a general day off);
on New Year's holidays– from December 31 to January 10;
in February– from 18 to 25;
in April- from the 8th to the 15th.
In educational institutions of Moscow, working according to the "classical" system four quarters, the following vacation periods will be established:
autumn - from October 29 to November 6;
winter - from December 31 to January 10;
additional February– from 18 to 25 February;
spring - from 1 to 8 April.
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.
Holidays in the 2017-2018 academic year in Belarus
Any student - even one who loves to study and learn new things - is looking forward to the time when holidays are announced. For students, periods of respite are an opportunity to at least take a break from the constant development of complex material, control, independent work and essays, have fun with friends, sleep off and play your favorite games.
Perhaps the parents of schoolchildren are looking forward to the holidays with no less impatience - vacation periods provide an opportunity to plan a family vacation, arrange a fun and educational trip, visit interesting festivals, excursions and shows. Belarusian students are no exception, so the vacation schedule drawn up by representatives of the Ministry of Education of Belarus for the 2017-2018 academic year will be very interesting to them.

School holidays in 2017-2018 in Belarus
Unlike educational institutions of the Russian Federation, in which the school authorities have the opportunity to independently determine the time for going on vacation, in Belarus, periods of quarters and vacations are mandatory for all republican school institutions. The final curriculum for this year is as follows:
First quarter: it starts from the Day of Knowledge (09/01/2017) and ends on 10/28/2017.
Autumn vacation: the beginning of the autumn holiday will be 10/29/2017, and the end - 11/7/2017. This time, the autumn holidays will last longer than usual - as much as 10 days;
Second quarter: you need to go to study on November 8, 2017 and study until December 23, 2017;
Winter holiday: fun winter celebrations will last for 15 days for secondary school students - from 12/24/2017 to 01/07/2018 inclusive;
Third quarter: On January 8, 2018, you will need to return to your home school to continue your studies. The third quarter will continue until 03/24/2018;
Spring break: these vacations will be less than the autumn ones - only 8 days. They will last from 03/25/2018 to 04/01/2018 inclusive;
Fourth quarter: will start on 04/02/2018 and end on 05/31/2018, when the last bell will ring announcing the start of the summer holidays. An exception will be made for ninth-graders - they study until 06/13/2018;
Summer vacation: summer vacation periods differ for certain categories of students. From 06/01/2018 to 08/31/2018 almost all the guys will have a rest (as much as 92 days!). The exception is graduates who complete their studies in the ninth grade. For them, summer vacations will be a little shorter - only 80 days are allotted for rest, from 06/14/2018 to 08/31/2018.
Parents of toddlers studying in grades 1 and 2 should remember that another break in school is planned for this age group - additional winter vacations, which will begin on 02/12/2018 and end on 02/18/2018 (7 days).
Both parents and students should be aware that the schedule is advisory in nature. That is, officials from the ministry can only indicate the approximate dates for the beginning and end of the holidays, but when exactly the days of the cherished rest begin is determined by the order of the school. Thus, vacation days may differ in different educational institutions, even if schools conduct classes according to the same program.
Autumn holidays schedule 2017
Autumn holidays in the 2017-2018 academic year will begin on October 28 and will continue until November 6.
On the calendar, the end date falls on Monday, because according to the production calendar, Saturday, November 4 is a non-working day, is postponed to November 6. Thanks to this holiday, the duration of the holidays this year has increased by one day.
Winter holidays 2017-2018
The second holidays are in the middle of winter - the last week of the year and most of the New Year holidays. In 2018, they will begin on December 25 and will last until January 8 inclusive.
The number of days off can be increased in case of very unfavorable weather conditions (usually very severe frosts - from -25C), the introduction of quarantine or in the event that the educational premises are not heated enough - if the temperature in the classroom is lower than +18 C, classes are not allowed.
The Ministry of Education provides for additional winter holidays only for first grade students, the duration of which is one week. Weekend for the little ones starts on February 19th.
Spring break. Schedule 2018
The third vacation should be expected in the spring. Spring break in the 2017-2018 academic year is scheduled for the period from March 26 to April 1.
Taking into account the weekend, children will have a rest for 9 days from March 24 to April 1, and on April 2 they will return to their desks.
However, in practice, these terms can be changed by the school authorities to prevent the spread of viral diseases (influenza, SARS). As a rule, such quarantines occur in mid-March. The guidelines call for 7 to 10 days of rest, but the number of days off may be increased given how aggressively seasonal respiratory illnesses are spreading.

Pupils in grades 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 can forget about learning on the first summer day.
