How long is spring break typically?

I'm trying to plan a spring break trip and want to know how long the break usually lasts. Is it just one week everywhere, or do some schools have different schedules? I'm curious about whether colleges tend to have longer breaks than high schools. Anyone have insights based on their experience or what they've heard?

From my knowledge, the length of spring break can vary significantly depending on the school and the level of education.

In high schools and middle schools, spring break typically lasts one week. This is fairly standardized across the U.S., though the exact week can vary, falling anywhere from late March to early April.

In contrast, college spring breaks have a bit more variation. Many colleges and universities also have a one-week spring break, but it's not uncommon for some schools to have a slightly longer break. An extended break may take the form of a "spring break week" along with a few additional days off wrapped around the weekends. However, this is not the norm and tends to be more common at schools with a quarter system or schools that have a winter break in addition to a spring break.

When you're scheduling your trip, it would be best to consult the academic calendar of the particular school you're interested in, as these can often be found online with exact dates for breaks and holidays. This can help ensure you get the most accurate information for your specific situation.
