Other data-driven information includes the first and last day of class, class breaks like holidays, and graduation commencements.

While each jurisdiction follows the same four-term-per-year model, the start and end date of each term can vary by more than a week from state to state.

A very popular school holiday period of the year for travel is the autumn break, which is between Term 1 and Term 2 and usually coincides with Easter. Equally popular for travel is the Christmas/Summer school holiday break that generally runs for 5-6 weeks – the longest break in the school calendar.
