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.
Print it The generator on this page shades every break listed here for the region you pick, on top of the public holidays, moon phases and week numbers you can already turn on. The PDF is free, with no watermark and no sign-up.
