School Structure and Holidays
Year-Round Care with Flexible Vacation Times
Tesoro Montessori School offers a flexible school structure that meets the needs of families. We are open almost year-round, with only two planned closures:
​
Christmas Holidays: 3 weeks in December/January
Summer Holidays: 3 weeks in July/August
​
Flexible Vacation Options
In addition to the planned closures, families have the option to choose an additional 7 weeks of vacation. These flexible vacation times are included in the school fees, and there are no extra costs if these vacation periods are not used. This provides families with the freedom to plan their vacations individually while ensuring continuous care.
​
Vacation Planning in Advance
To allow for optimal planning and organization, we ask parents to notify us of their chosen vacation times at least three months in advance. This helps us ensure smooth operation and consider the needs of all families.
