In China,we usually have two semesters in one school year. One is open in September 1st and another one is open in late February or early March. How about yours?

Hello, I am from Texas, USA.

In elementary school (primary) we had two semesters, though we did not refer to them as that. 1st was before winter break and 2nd was after. My high school had the same format 👍

At my college we have 18 week semesters.

Have a wonderful day!

In university we call it "semester", this word.

In school there is a Russian word which means "half a year" and another Russian word which means "quarter". So it is 2 or 4 of them, depending on how you count:)

There are vacations in between.
Summer vacation in my high-school started about 20 May and ended 1st september. I don't know what it is now. 
Lessons are 6 days a week... And about 5 lessons a day in high school. This is the main difference with China: more free time.

Hi Rosita!
I am from Australia, and at both schools we have 4 semesters per year.
We start in February and finish for the year in November, with 1 week holiday between semesters :)
