It's a year-round calendar. they start in mid-July and they have slightly different breaks (3 "intersessions", sept/oct, december and march, each 3weeks long (dec and mar breaks are the regular district break plus 2weeks more, usually just before or after). That's the main difference. Also it's not a "home" school. you have to apply to get in and it's based on availability of space. It's a good school with good test scores. And it is a K-8 school.

What @career727 said. The kids go to school for 9 weeks, 3 weeks off, keep repeating that until summer. Summer break is about 5 weeks and we start the new year around July 11th. If you go to Iroquois’ website you can see the calendar. Intercession is our 3 week break.
