Planning Tips for 2027 Singapore School Holidays
🏛️ One MOE calendar for all schools
Singapore's Ministry of Education publishes a single national calendar for primary, secondary schools, junior colleges and Millennia Institute — plus scheduled school holidays like Youth Day and Teachers' Day.
🌏 The June break is the big travel window
The four-week mid-year break (late May to late June) is the main family-holiday period — flights to nearby Bangkok, Tokyo and Bali peak in price for these weeks.
📝 PSLE and exam-venue schools end early
Schools used as national exam venues close before the official year end (late October/early November), and GCE exam years finish after the papers — check your school's variant.
🕌 Festive dates move every year
Hari Raya, Chinese New Year and Deepavali shift with the lunar and Islamic calendars, and the MOE adds designated off-in-lieu school holidays around weekend festivals — recheck the calendar each January.
