Different school year in US and Cluna
With the beginning of the new semester, we have to say goodbye to the summer holiday. But do you
know students in America start their semester earlier than we do?
Most American schools have a total of about 180 days of teaching. The fall semester goes from early
September to mid-December, and the spring semester goes from early January to mid-June.
In China, we have two semesters and each has about 20 weeks. The US school year is about 20 days
shorter than it is in China.
In the US, school kids have a long summer vacation and a few breaks, which are like China's Golden
weeks. One is around Christmas, lasting about two weeks. Another is in February, for only one week. It
can also be called "ski week", because some students go skiing during the break. And there is a
one-week-long spring break. It is in March or April, around Faster.
Throughout the vear, there are also a few other holidays when students don't go to school, such as
Thanksgiving Day. This is similar to Mid-Autumn Festival in China.
