spring quarter (11 weeks + 1 week of finals), break (1 week), summer quarter, ja?
So spring was last quarter, and now it's summer after one week of break and one week of finals.

You mean you don't just go from August to May, and then get June and July off? Where do you live?

It's broken up into:
fall (11+1), break(1), winter (11+1), break(1), spring (11+1), break(1), summer (11+1 ?), break(?), repeat
Summer's a little shorter than the other quarters, though, so it might be 10+1 or 9+1, and the final break's a little longer.

Its been a couple of years now, but our school system is something like:
1st term:starts at Begining of Feb, lasts 10 weeks
2 week break
2nd term:10weeks
2 week break
3rd term-10 weeks
2 week breack
4th term-10 weeks
6 weeks break. Next year begins in February.
Uni on the other hand is quite different. Usually we start in march, go for 7 weeks, have a week off, then go for another 7 or so weeks, have some exams, a few weeks off, then second semester is the same. At the end of the year, we have about 3 and a half months off.

As far as I can tell, what was school for me until it ended a month ago was September through to December, January through to Easter, and Easter through to about July, with a weeks break in the middle of each. Two weeks break between each term, and a six week break in the summer.
Of course, since I've just done my A levels, that's nothing like how its worked for me. I ran off in late May, been doing exams ever since, then soon as I've done my last exam on Friday, hedonism on a grand scale...

Our system is pretty much exactly the same, except the public schools (like the one I went to) do six periods of six weeks. I think it's usually the private schools that do four nine-week periods.
