About Global School Calendar
Global School Calendar is a comprehensive school holiday calendar website. We provide accurate, up-to-date school term dates, holiday schedules, and public holiday information for 36 countries worldwide, with new countries added regularly.
Our Mission
Finding school holidays 2026 dates shouldn't be difficult. Yet for many countries, this information is scattered across hundreds of local council websites, school district pages, and government portals. Our mission is to bring all of this information together in one place, making it easy for parents, teachers, and students to find the school calendar 2026 dates they need — whether it's term dates, half-term breaks, spring break, or summer holidays.
Data Sources
Most school holiday dates on our website are sourced directly from official government education departments and local council websites, and each page links to its original source for transparency. For countries without a single national calendar - such as the United States (13,000+ school districts) and the United Kingdom (dates set by each local council) - we show representative dates and link to official resources so you can confirm with your local school or council. We update our data regularly.
