For children’s academic and psychological growth, school breaks are essential. They allow students to rest, engage in hobbies, and spend time with their loved ones. Parents can better organise family gatherings, extracurricular activities and holidays by being aware of the school holiday schedule. It is crucial to remember that students’ winter breaks will probably begin the last week of December and last until the first week of January. However, winter breaks vary by area and school. In 2025, the summer holidays will be no different. Here, we’ve put up a list of holidays for the 2025 academic year.

The holiday schedule prioritises academic participation during extended vacations in addition to offering plenty of respites. To keep students’ minds engaged, teachers offer homework and projects in all subject areas over the summer, Diwali to Chhath Puja, and winter breaks. After classes resume, these assignments will be reviewed.
Based on the moon sighting, the dates of Muslim holidays like Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha may change somewhat and schools will make any necessary adjustments. These vacations are crucial for balancing learning, leisure, cultural interaction, and personal development. These schedules can be used by parents and kids to organise fun and successful activities all year long. However, it is best to confirm exact dates with the relevant schools as institutional policies may cause slight changes.
