Good to know
One or two winter breaks, depending on the year
Croatia's national calendar alternates: 2025/26 has a single winter break, while 2026/27 returns to the usual two-part scheme (a Christmas break and a shorter break in late February). Dates are set nationally each year by the Ministry of Science, Education and Youth.
