American (AP) school calendars
19 schools following this curriculum, across 7 cities.
How the American (AP) year is shaped
American schools start earlier in August and finish in late May or early June, with a Thanksgiving break in late November, a spring break, and AP examinations in early to mid May.
12 of these 19 schools publish staff training days (INSET / PD) — days the school is shut to students but most workplaces are not. Those are the dates worth checking first if you need childcare.
No Class: Parent-Teacher Conferences
Oct 29 – Oct 30, 2026
Counted as the earliest school-holiday start among the 19 American (AP) schools below. They publish their own calendars and do not all break in the same week, so the school that breaks first is not the family breaking — each school's own dates are listed below.

Source and data
This page restates the calendars of 19 American (AP) schools, collected from each school or its authority and published as one dataset at /data/schools-compact.json. There is no single American (AP) calendar, so there is no single source here: every school above links to its own.
Data collected for this dataset. It is the date the whole dataset was collected, not a per-school verification date: a school may have published its dates earlier, and any of these calendars can change after it.
A school's calendar can change mid-year. Confirm against the school's own publication before booking travel.
Spotted a wrong date, or a school that has republished its calendar? Report a date error or source change — name the school in the details, or use the per-school report link in the list above so that the school's own source URL travels with the report.
