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.
Dates by region
Every break below is listed under each region it applies to. The print link next to a region opens the generator with that region's breaks shaded.
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.
