The academic year is the same for all of Spain. The date fluctuates, each school year changes, but the starting date is usually  the second monday in september, and the classes usually end on the friday closest to june 24th. The only differences in each region are the local holidays.

The school holidays are one week in november (mid-term), two weeks (aproximately) for Christmas, returning on the day after the Epiphany (jan. 6) or the following monday. And another mid-term week for Easter.
