Less summer learning loss. Increased retention rates. A more continuous learning pattern. Shorter, more frequent vacations. Less need to review and repeat materials. Less ‘burn out.’ These are all reasons why parents and educational experts support “year round” schools. This is also why GRPS proudly offers the largest selection of year round schools in all of West Michigan.
Unlike what the name implies, year round schools do not run 365 days a year. Instead of the traditional calendar school that includes 174 days of school with a two and a half month summer break, year round schools begin in early August and end in late June with two one week breaks known as “intersessions" along with the traditional holiday, winter and spring breaks.
