Revision as of 16:08, 12 July 2019

This is more of a scratch page than anything else. Since the Scarlet Jusenkyou books actually have a very tight timeline and continuity, I need to lay out some specific orders and finally clarify a few things I've never gotten around to needing in previous volumes. A similar system will see use in the Conri books. See: Alliance Calendar for an explanation of how the dates work.

School Year

Scarlet's school is broken down into Fall and Spring semesters, further subdivided into quarters.

Summer vacation lasts 87 days, school starts on the second day of the 9th month, which is always a monday

Each Semester is 19 weeks long, the first quarter is always 9 and the second 10, with a few weeks off for various holidays.

First quarter runs from the 36th week to the 45th week

Second quarter from 46 to 51st - break for winter - 2nd week to 6th week

Third Quarter(Second Semester) 3rd to 12th week

Fourth Quarter 13th to 23rd week(actually only 9 weeks because spring break)


  • First Quarter Fall Semester: 2nd day of 9th month to 1st day of 11th month
  • Second Quarter Fall Semester: 4th day of 11th month to the end of the year, then resumes for 4 weeks in the new year.
