Acceleration Program - Holiday Dates

Acceleration is an intensive option. Even so, you do get to take a break from the books every now and then. There are no weekend classes scheduled. Longer term students can also enjoy the term (quarter) breaks and the Obon break.

Public Holidays: Japan has a number of public holidays. The dates listed below are the public holidays that occur on weekdays during the schedules for Format 1 (core component AIJP) and Format 2 (core component SILAC). Public holidays that fall on weekends have not been listed. The only exceptions are the short break in August (the Obon festival) and the New Year Holiday (includes both Yamasa holidays and Public Holidays). In order to minimize the disruption public holidays cause to the arrivals and teaching schedule, we in some cases move the holiday, creating "furikaekyuujitsu" to a different date. Whenever this occurs an explanation is included below - eg 2007 APRIL/13 - Spring Equinox (*moved* from March 21st)

Holidays during the program. Saturdays/Sundays are always holidays and so are unlisted
