How school holidays work in Switzerland

• Switzerland delegates school calendars to the twenty-six cantons, and they genuinely differ — sports week in February is a Swiss institution but lands differently canton by canton.
• Even within a canton, communes can vary by a few days; treat the cantonal dates as the frame and check the school for the edges.

About these dates

Dates come from each country's official school-calendar publications, collected by the open-data OpenHolidays project, and cover public schools. Ministries publish year by year, so a future year can be partial until its calendar is announced; individual schools can also add their own in-service days. Treat this as the official frame and the school's own calendar as final. Dates last checked against the source on 2026-08-27.

Looking for the United States, United Kingdom, Canada or Australia? Their dates are set by school districts, local authorities or state education departments rather than published as one national table — those pages explain how each system works and what to print instead. The school-year calendar (August to July on one page) works for any district once you pencil in your own dates.
