Dates come from the official school-calendar publications for the Netherlands, collected by the open-data OpenHolidays project. Last checked on 2026-08-27. They cover public schools; an individual school can add in-service days of its own, so treat this as the frame and the school's own calendar as final.
How the Netherlands sets school holidays
- The Netherlands schedules school breaks in three zones — North, Middle and South — whose summer breaks are staggered by law; the ministry fixes summer dates centrally and advises the rest. The tables below are per province, each following its zone.
- Autumn and spring breaks are advisory, so individual schools can shift them by a week — the dates below are what most follow.
