If you've ever stayed up late trying to figure out when the next school break is — or panicked because you nearly booked a trip during school week — you're not alone. Planning around Singapore school holidays is something every family deals with. Flights go up during the school holidays. Hotel rooms in Bali and Bangkok fill up fast. And if you miss the window, it's double the price for half the availability.
That's why we built this page. One place. Both years. Every date. No ads. No clutter.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) Singapore releases an official school calendar every year that sets the term dates for all government and government-aided schools. This covers primary schools, secondary schools, junior colleges (JC), and MOE kindergartens. The calendar includes school term start and end dates, school vacation periods, public holidays, and special school holidays like Teachers' Day and Youth Day.
Private schools and international schools may follow a different schedule, but the MOE calendar is the standard reference for most Singapore families.
For the 2026 school year, Singapore students will enjoy 103 total holiday days. The four main school vacation periods are:
The March school holidays 2026 run from Saturday 14 March to Sunday 22 March 2026. School reopens on Monday 23 March for Term 2. While shorter than the June and December breaks, the March holidays are a hidden gem — crowds at resorts are smaller, airfares are lower, and the weather is pleasant across much of Southeast Asia. Many families use this window to visit Malaysia, Thailand, or even Japan during cherry blossom season.
For 2025, the MOE school calendar gives students 101 total holiday days. The vacation periods in 2025 are very similar to 2026, with the June break running from 31 May to 29 June, and the year-end break starting from 22 November.
It's a real phenomenon. During the June school holidays and the December break, flight prices from Singapore to popular destinations like Bali, Tokyo, London, and Melbourne can be 30–80% higher than outside of holiday periods. If you can travel during the March or September break instead, you'll often save significantly. Booking early — ideally 3 to 6 months ahead of the June and December breaks — is always the smarter move.
Government schools, government-aided schools, and MOE kindergartens all follow the official MOE school calendar. Special Education (SPED) schools may have slightly different schedules. International schools (like Singapore American School, Tanglin Trust, or ACS International) follow their own academic calendar, which is often modelled on British or American school years. Always check with your child's specific school to confirm exact dates.
