2011 High School Spring Break

<p>Just took daughter to Beaches in Jamaca for her Spring Break. She had bad time as only a few teenagers there. So, the question is: whether she was early for spring break or not a great place for teenagers. (She did get alot of rest and sunnwhich was my puepose for taking her).</p>

<p>We went March 6 - 11. What dates are most HS spring brek?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Seems like (in the two states I’ve lived in for significant time) that Spring Break tends to hover around Easter (April 24th this year, quite late), or, failing that, mid-early April.</p>

<p>yea boarding schools are march but other schools plan it according to Easter</p>

<p>I’m in a public school in Texas and I’m on Spring Break right now, which seems to be the norm for my area.</p>

<p>4/16-25

<p>Late reply to this post but I couldn’t resist as we recently had the same experience. We love Beaches, and go to Turks and Caicos every year. This year we went to the Beaches in Jamaica for the first time because we were looking for a bit of a change. Lots of teenagers in our group of extended family and they all voiced the same complaint as your daughter. We live on the west coast and the kids enjoy meeting new friends who are primarily from the east coast and Canada. Those opportunities just didn’t present themselves in Jamaica as it was an older crowd and they didn’t have all of the fun activities for kids that Beaches at Turks and Caicos offers. So I think your problem was not in the timing, but rather the resort itself. The adults and the younger children all loved Jamaica, but next year we will be going back to Turks and Caicos because of the teenagers in our family. Though next year we will have two twenty-year-olds! Turks is more fun, even though they don’t have the water-skiing, their scuba diving is amazing and they have a wave pool with surfing that the kids really like. (and the nicest people ever)</p>

<p>Spring Break in my state usually happens at the beginning of April.</p>

<p>Our school does it around mid-March. March ~15 and then continues for, I think, the whole week.</p>
