Armenia’s Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports has established the official winter and spring holiday schedules for the 2026–2027 academic year.
The schedule applies to educational institutions implementing state general education programs, including general, specialized and special schools.
Holiday dates vary depending on students’ grade levels and whether schools operate on a five-day or six-day academic week.
Winter School Holidays
Grades 1 and 2:
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.
First- and second-grade students will therefore have a longer winter break than students in higher grades.
Spring School Holidays
Grade 1:
Five-day school week: March 15–26, 2027.
Six-day school week: March 15–27, 2027.
Grades 2–12:
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.
Important Information for Parents
All the announced holiday periods include both their starting and ending dates.
Parents should check whether their child’s school follows a five-day or six-day schedule to determine the applicable holiday dates.
The timetable has been established by an order of Armenia’s Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports for the 2026–2027 academic year.
