Vacations
At Koriphey, we use a special way to plan school time. We call it "5+1". This means students study for five weeks, then have one week off. We do this for a few reasons:
- Research shows kids learn better when they have regular breaks.
- It helps students stay excited about school all year.
- Families can plan short trips throughout the year, not just in summer.
Vacation Schedule for the 2024-2025 Academic Year
We have carefully planned the vacation schedule, considering the natural cycles of academic activity and rest needs:
* October 7-13: Autumn break
* November 18-24: Time to sum up initial results
* December 30 - January 12: New Year holidays
* February 17-23: Winter break (for 1st grades)
* March 31 - April 6: Spring renewal
* May 5-11: May holidays
* June 27 - August 31: Summer vacation
Summer City Camp: Adventures Close to Home
Summer is a special time for our students. In mid-June, our city camp opens its doors for two weeks. It's not just a place to spend time, but a real kaleidoscope of exciting activities and new discoveries. A powerful team of counselors from senior Korifey accompanies all camp events and programs.
What awaits children in our camp?
* Exciting quests developing logic and team spirit
* Intellectual games and quizzes expanding horizons
* Creative contests revealing talents
* Excursions to theaters and museums, immersing in the world of art
* Various interest-based clubs
* Refreshing visits to the pool
* An exciting tourist rally teaching survival skills in nature
Every day in the camp is a new adventure that will leave bright memories for the whole year!
August Intensive: A Soft Return to Studies
From August 21 to 26, we conduct a unique August intensive. It's not just preparation for the academic year, but a real festival of knowledge and friendship.
The intensive program includes:
* Engaging immersion in the learning process
* Team-building trainings and games helping to unite the collective
* Developmental activities awakening interest in studies
* Preparation for the solemn assembly - the first celebration of the new academic year.
This intensive helps children smoothly transition from summer rest to the academic rhythm, meet friends, and tune in for a productive year.
Tips for Parents on Making Breaks Fun:
- Plan breaks with your kids. This teaches them to be responsible.
- Let kids help choose where to go. They'll be more interested.
- Talk about safety rules before trips. This teaches responsibility too.
- Visit museums and shows. This helps kids learn new things.
- Encourage reading and creative activities. This keeps their minds active.
Remember: Breaks are for rest and fun. Try not to give kids extra schoolwork during this time. Let breaks be a time to relax and get ready for the next school period.
At our school, we don't just teach - we try to balance learning and rest. We think this helps students do their best. Our "5+1" plan isn't just about classes and breaks. It's about making each week of learning exciting, and each break a time to enjoy what they've learned and get ready for more.
