Armenia’s Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports has approved the official winter and spring holiday schedules for students attending public schools during the 2026–2027 academic year.
The schedule applies to general, specialized and special education institutions. Holiday dates vary depending on students’ grade levels and whether schools operate on a five-day or six-day weekly schedule.
Winter School Holidays
First and Second Grades
Five-day school week: December 28, 2026 – January 22, 2027.
Six-day school week: December 28, 2026 – January 23, 2027.
Grades 3–12
Five-day school week: December 28, 2026 – January 8, 2027.
Six-day school week: December 28, 2026 – January 9, 2027.
Younger students will therefore have a longer winter break than students in grades 3–12.
Spring School Holidays
First Grade
Five-day school week: March 15–26, 2027.
Six-day school week: March 15–27, 2027.
Second Grade and Grades 3–12
Five-day school week: March 22–26, 2027.
Six-day school week: March 22–27, 2027.
First-grade students will begin their spring holidays one week earlier than other students.
According to the ministerial order, all listed dates are inclusive, meaning the final day indicated is also part of the official school holiday period.
Parents and students are advised to check their school’s weekly schedule to determine the applicable holiday dates.
