Anyone got a list of dates of all the national holidays that public schools would get off from December to March?
I know we get Christmas and New Years off. |

Public School elementary as far as I know:
One day somewhere between the 3rd and the 14th for finals.
Wed Dec 19 for election day
Christmas
New Year's Day
Wed Feb 6- Friday Feb 8 for Sollal (Lunar New Year)
Unfortunately March 1st is a Saturday so no extra day of for 3/1 day. 
Then there's whatever extra days your individual school takes off for sports day, activities, field trips etc.
These are the only ones I know of. |

| Yea, my hagwon is closed on December 19th for election day. I am so glad as we have not had a holiday for a long time. I am really ready to get the next 4 weeks done and take some time off. |

| Most hagwons are open for election day. Why would they be closed? I've had to work on a National holiday before. A lot of hagwoners never even see all of their vacation time. |

They're actually debating this at the main branch in Seoul I was told. We might get either Christmas or New Years off. But most of us will have to make up for it by working more classes on the weekend. |
