Question
Hey!
I would like to know if school continues in the end of May, June, and July.
To the best of my knowledge, most schools in China from primary through university end around July, then commence in September. Of course, this IS China, so really education proceeds year-round with summer and winter classes and private tutorials so that students can get a jump on the following year's curriculum or brush up on other subjects. Never underestimate the diligence of a Chinese student :)
