The holidays for teachers in Georgia will vary based on when you start teaching and how long you sign on for. Please check our Georgia Frequently Asked Questions Forum for specific information regarding school vacation periods.
In general, all volunteers will get weekends and national public holidays as days off. Those who teach for 1 year will also get 24 days of paid holidays and a return flight home or to a destination of lesser or equal value. This holiday must be taken outside of a school semester-during a winter or a summer break. Volunteers teaching summer camps may have some additional time off to travel, depending on the arrangements in their camp.
