Rewrapped: Dubai Private School Calendars for 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 - Stay Informed!
Heard the buzz about the school calendars in Dubai for the coming academic years? Well, buckle up! The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has spilled the beans on the schedule for all private schools in Dubai. Here's what you need to know about academic term dates and awesome holiday breaks!
Just picture it, the 2024-2025 school year - whether your darling cherubs start in April or in September, get ready to kick off the academic adventure in August 2024! Yup, that's right, Schools with a September start are lining up the books earlier next year. The winter break will be no vacation for the Grinches, either— it'll commence in early December and classes will resume in January. Spring break is catching windy vibes for late March 2025, with students resuming their academic adventures in early April. Remember, at least 182 educational days must be under our scholars' belts by no later than 27 June 2025, guaranteeing a minimum quantity of quality learning.
Now, let's talk about schools starting in April. The 2025-2026 water jousting lesson will set sail on 7 April 2025. Summer break takes the helm at the end of June, followed by a heroic return to class in late August. Ahoy, mateys! The winter break anchors on 15 December 2025, and the academic year wraps up around the end of March 2026, with each boat fulfilling itsrequired number of days at sea.
Snap your attention! These dates for public holidays such as Eid and UAE National Day will only be confirmed once they're given a stamp of approval by the federal government. Keep your eyes peeled for those official dates, pollywogs!
Parents, keep those cat-eyes open for detailed calendars on your child's individual school profiles. Rest assured, all Dubai private schools toe the KHDA line when it comes to academic structure, regardless of the curriculum they sail by.
Let this information set sail with you in your journeys, and cheers to a fantastic academic future for our fabulous little ones!
