What Breaks do You take During the School Year?

by | Jul 30, 2025 | Q&A

During the Fall semester, will take one week off for Fall Break, one week off for Thanksgiving and two weeks off for Christmas.  During the Spring semester, we will take one week off for Spring Break.  

I’ve taught the series for years, guiding my students through First Year Latin, Second Year Latin, and parts of Third Year Latin by Robert Henle. Those classes remain available on my site 24/7. 

Here is the schedule for 2025-2026:

📚  Classes Resume: September 2, 2025

🍂  Fall Break: October 13-17

🦃  Thanksgiving Break: November 24-28

🎄  Christmas/New Years: December 22-January 4

🌷 Spring Break: March 9- 13

☀️  Summer Break: May 21 – September 8

The schedule may change from time to time, but I try hard to leave things as they are.  If the schedule does change, I will make sure students are alerted well in advance.

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week.  The tip of the week is usually something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier.

If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email.   You will also get a free digital copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else).  Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/ and enter your name and email.

If you want to buy the digital book instead (because you just feel like buying me a cup of coffee) go here: https://dwanethomas.gumroad.com/l/fzixlh

If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7.  I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg.

If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful.  To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/

If you want a more professionally filmed Latin learning experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.

Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up!  Warning.   Word Up! is a bit wacky.  You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.

I teach other languages on my site, too.  The current schedule is here: https://dwanethomas.com/schedule/
