School Year Calendar 2010-2011

It is widely accepted that all children learn best in a year-round schooling situation with shorter, but more frequent breaks. Following this philosophy, Star Academy has divided the school year as follows:

Date Event
September 7 First day of School
October 11 Thanksgiving
October 25 – October 29 Fall Break
December 17 – January 3 (2011) incl. Christmas Break
February 14 – 18 Winter Break
April 25 – 29 Easter&Spring Break
May 23 Victoria Day
June 17 – July 1 Inter-session Break
July 4 – July 29 Interactive Summer Showtime Programme
August 1 – September 5 Summer Break

At 204, Star Academy has more academic teaching days than the local Public Board (192) and a broad sample of Private school contemporaries (average 159).
