When is the beginning and the end of summer vacation for the Korean Students. Are these the same dates for all students up to the high school kids? Thanks.

Every school's principal decides exactly when 'vacations' start and end.

In general, summer vacation will start sometime around the middle of July.

Thanks for the reply Very Happy

. How many months or weeks long is the summer vacation?

Usually, 5-6 weeks (depending on the school).

Uhmmmmm, this morning, walk over to your co-teacher or V-P or boss and ask them. Every school, every level is different. If you are a public school NET, then you should have got a calender and/or daytimer with your schools schedule of yearly events on March 2nd. If you didn't, then I guess they don't like you. It was on everyone's desk the first day.

Ha, I don't know ONE NET who got a schedule, so don't feel bad. We all usually find things out at the last minute.

I finally broke down and asked for one, which is apparently in the making. You should do the same as it will save you a lot of wondering. But yeah, middle of July to middle/end of August sounds about right.

GEPIK school - rural area..we finish Friday July 24th - return Tuesday 25th August (then the kids and other teachers are away for a 3 day 'camp' doing volunteer work with the disabled. (I have not been told yet if I should go but have no intention of doing so lol).

I have a years schedule. My school pretty good about that stuff. I reckon they think it is easier than having me ask about things all the time (which I did).

Sad that the summer holiday is so much shorter than winter.

Even the Korean teachers didn't get a full schedule until a week after school started back up.. My handler just translated it for me and had me write down the important dates (holidays :p )

My summer vacation starts on July 24th.. and then summer camp for 4 weeks.. and maybe a week of sitting before school starts again. My school dates are way off from my friends in other PS schools though.
