School Holidays in Cyprus

When the kids are out of school: The Cypriot school term dates you need to know.

The Cyprus school year follows the three term system with vacation breaks in summer, the Christmas/New Year period and the Greek Orthodox Easter period falling in spring. Most English-curriculum schools have a mid-term break of one week in October and February.

  • The school year includes registration days
  • Schools are closed on national public holidays, see the AngloINFO INFOrmation Page, Public Holidays in Cyprus
  • Some primary schools named after a Saint are closed on the corresponding Saint's day
  • The Minister of Education and Culture may choose to change the dates for educational benefit reasons

The vacation dates vary from district to district and private international schools have different dates for their school holidays.

Note: Please always check with the relevant school to confirm the holiday dates.
