School Holidays 2026 & School Calendar

Global School Calendar is a free online resource that provides official school holiday dates, term dates, and academic calendars for multiple countries worldwide.

We are actively expanding to add more countries and regions.

All dates are sourced directly from official government education department websites and local council publications. We verify each date against the original source. However, individual schools may have variations, so we always recommend confirming with your specific school.

Yes, Global School Calendar is completely free to use. No sign-up, registration, or payment is required. You can access all school holiday and term date information without any barriers.

Yes, all our calendar pages are designed to be print-friendly. Simply use your browser's print function (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P) on any region page to get a clean, formatted printout of the school holidays and term dates. You can also save the page as a PDF from the print dialog.

We update our data whenever official sources publish new or revised dates. Typically, government education departments release calendars 1-2 years in advance, and we add them as soon as they are published. We also review existing dates periodically to ensure accuracy.

Private and independent schools often follow similar schedules to public schools but may have variations. Some private schools have slightly longer holidays or different term start/end dates. Always check directly with your school for the most accurate dates.

The dates on our website represent the standard official calendar for each region. Individual schools, particularly faith-based or private schools, may have different dates. If you notice a significant discrepancy from the official government calendar, please contact us so we can verify and update our data.
