FISW Sample Calendar
This sample calendar shows the general structure of each school
year. We follow the French Ministry of Education format, applied to work with
local school districts and requirements. Note the fall break in October, which
helps divide the school year into 5 equal segments of approximately 7 weeks
long.
The actual dates, which naturally vary somewhat each year, are
available to enrolled families in a private section of the Web site. They are
published in tentative form each spring and dates firm up in the fall and
throughout the year.
