Switzerland's 2030 school holidays benefit from a mid-April Easter (21 April) and two strong August public holiday placements for Catholic cantons. The school year is otherwise structured as in previous years โ entirely at cantonal level with no national calendar.
Summer holidays: Swiss National Day (1 August, Thursday) and Assumption (15 August, Thursday in Catholic cantons) give families two opportunities for mid-summer long weekends using a single bridge day each. A strong August for holiday planning.
Autumn break: All Saints' Day (1 November, Friday) gives Catholic cantons an automatic three-day weekend at the end of their October autumn break.
Immaculate Conception (8 December, Monday): Catholic cantons enjoy an automatic three-day weekend in early December โ a welcome break before the Christmas exam and event period.
Christmas 2030: Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Wednesday. Most cantons' Christmas school breaks run from approximately 22 December 2030 to 6โ8 January 2031.
