The School Holiday System in Austria

In Austria, the school holiday system is coordinated at the national level, but the specific dates may vary slightly from one Land (federal region) to another. The main school holidays include summer holidays, Christmas holidays, Easter holidays, as well as additional breaks in autumn and winter. Although the dates can be adjusted by each Land, they remain largely harmonized across the country.

• Summer Holidays: Generally from early July to early September, with minor variations depending on the Länder.
• Christmas Holidays: Around December 24th to January 6th.
• Easter Holidays: A week around Easter Sunday, with exact dates varying by Land.
• Interim Holidays:
  • Autumn Holidays: A week at the end of October or early November, depending on the Land.
  • Winter Holidays: A week in February, with dates varying by Land.

The exact dates for school holidays are set each year in consultation between the Länder and the federal government, to ensure a balanced organization of school and family activities. Specific information for each Land is published by the local education authorities.
