South African schools: School Holidays Western CapeSchool Terms and School Holidays 2010South African schools usually divide their academic year into four terms. The school year starts mid of January and ends at the beginning of December. But dates vary slightly from school to school. Private schools often add another week either before or after the official state school holidays. Please check with the individual schools for exact dates as I can only give the holiday dates published by the Education department and so these dates are only rough guidelines for private schools in South Africa. A school term usually has got 10 weeks of instruction, often the public holidays are incorporated into a short term-break holiday. But there is no mid-term break holiday as there is in the UK school calendar. If you are interested to read more about schooling in Cape Town South Africa, please
