Lemongirl Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 We are thinking about our summer holiday next year and wondering which weeks to leave free for dd to do a summer school. Do most of them tend to be at the start of the summer, ie late July/early Aug? I saw something about the OPES one which I think is mid August?

Fab_feet Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Maybe a good idea to have a look at the schools websites. Some SS dates may already be published. You can get an idea from last years dates too as in my experience most schools stick to the same weeks. WLSS was end of July, Elmhurst is end of August. It always hard when trying to book your hols...... We are the same! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadowblythe Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 A different perspective ...... Whether are children are at vocational school or not, it's probably fair to say an inordinate amount of the week is spent driving them to and from classes, festivals, group rehearsals, associate classes - the list goes on. Perhaps for one week of the year family should come first? There'always another summer school but time spent together is so limited. This is from the perspective of a parent whose family were all under the same roof for precisely four days this summer. Who in the last two weeks has had two children starting at universities at opposite ends of the country,and yesterday had to drive 300 miles to collect the third from a large musical event to get her to an orchestral rehearsal. We have booked our family holiday for next year (for the first time ever) without consulting any schedules and nothing will be more important than a collective chance to draw breath.

Lemongirl Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Completely agree meadowblythe. But whatever happens, we WILL have a two week summer holiday as we always have done. But I don't particularly mind if it's at the start or end of the summer so I'm happy to take into account dd's summer school wishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdance Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 MIDAS will be running an international residential summer intensive this year. The details are being finalised but it will probably be towards the end of the holidays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
