Just when students [and] teachers would benefit from a break, the balanced year school model lends itself to that."
"Instead of having a long summer break and getting bored, you can spread them out through the entire year. It's fun having breaks when some other kids don't."
Peel's balanced schools start about a month earlier, have Thanksgiving and longer December breaks, a week before Family Day, and a doubled March break.
Advocates praise the balanced calendar model as a way to stave off summer learning loss, keep minds refreshed, and provide various opportunities for families to enjoy time off.
