Dates come from the official school-calendar publications for Switzerland, 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 Switzerland sets school holidays
- 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.
