When do high schools in ITALY start and end?

Question

I mean how long is one academic year for juniors and seniors?(I would suppose it's the same for both.?) So When does the actual summer holiday start and end?

Is it the same for the whole country and for all of the schools? Is it possible to be date specific?

Universities probably follow own time tables...right...?

Answer 1

They usually start (it depends on the region) the second week of september and they usually finish (it depends on the region too) the second week of june..so during summer we have three months of holiday.

But also at christmas and at easter we have some days of holiday (usually two week but it depends on the single school)

Answer 2

Usually start around half september and end around half june but every school can decide what to do

Answer 3

They all go from the first day of school through the last day of school.  It's pretty much the same everwhere in the world.  Good luck!

Answer 4

usually highschool starts in September and end in June.

Universities are usually closed by july

Answer 5

we start middle of september and end beginning of june

Answer 6

In Italy does not exist properly an exact equivalent of the U.S.A. High Schools. We have "Scuole Superiori" that allows for teen students from 13/14 to 18/19 years. The study program is  different from U.S.A. High Schools; "Scuole Superiori" are of many types and specialized. In Italy the young teens must decide at 13 years old what they want to study and get specialized about, so choose the type of School they like: may be Classic school, or Scientific school, or Economic, or Linguistics, Mechanical, Chemical, Art, etc....)

The specific dates are decided both by the Ministry of Public Instruction and by the Regions.

Usually, the Academic Year starts from September the 18th onwards, may be 18th-25th. The end of Academic Year usually is in June the 8th-15th. Inside this period, there are a lot of holidays, especially around Christmas, New Year Day and Catholic Easter.

The Academic Year for "Scuole Superiori" is the same for all Schools in the Region, both for juniors and senior students. Every Region may choose different days, according to local situations. Usually, the summer holiday is for sure from June the 15th to September the 18th.

Universities have completely different schedules and their own management... the Academic Year may start in October, but generally November, and ends usually in June... but there are a lot of exams scattered in any months, even during Summer or deep Winther.

Answer 7

It should be noted that students sit for exams from the end of the school year until early July, depending on the schedule.
