School breaks

School holiday checker

School holidays are highly regional in many countries. This checker shows school-tagged dates when the holiday dataset provides them and clearly says when it does not.

CountryYear

Important: school calendars are often decided by states, provinces, municipalities or individual education authorities. A missing date does not mean schools are open. Verify travel-critical dates with the relevant local education authority.

Frequently asked questions

Why are school holidays not available for every country?

Many school calendars are regional or local rather than national, so a global dataset cannot reliably provide one date for the entire country.

Are public holidays the same as school holidays?

No. Public holidays can close schools, but school terms also include breaks that are not public holidays.

Can I use this for booking travel?

Use it as a first check, then verify the exact region or school authority before booking around school-break dates.
