The Netherlands' 2028 school holidays benefit from a well-placed Easter (16 April) and a strong King's Day ponte (27 April, Thursday). Spring Meivakantie for all three regions falls around King's Day โ the Thursday ponte on 27 April likely overlaps with or extends the school break.
Summer holidays: ~6 weeks staggered by region across JulyโAugust. As a leap year, 2028 has an extra day in February โ no direct effect on holiday dates.
Autumn half-term: One week in October, staggered (Noord, Midden, Zuid).
Christmas 2028: Dutch Christmas holidays run from approximately 21 December 2028 to 5 January 2029. Christmas Day (25 December, Monday) and Second Christmas Day (26 December, Tuesday) give a clean structure to the start of the school break.
