What is Year-Round Schooling? Year round school is not new at all to society. Year round school is a system that it has been established around the world for over two hundred years. In other areas on a great beautiful Earth such as Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Iran, Japan, Kenya, France, Nigeria, North Korea, Russia, South Korea, and of course in China. It has been introduce in the United States in the 1990’s.
