United States School Holidays 2025

US school holidays in 2025 vary by state and district. Independence Day (4 July, Friday) falls during the summer break for most schools.

Summer holidays: 10–13 weeks depending on district, typically running from late May or June to August or early September. Labor Day (1 September) marks the traditional return to school for many districts.

Thanksgiving break: Most schools close around Thanksgiving (27 November) — typically Wednesday through Friday, with many districts taking the full week.

Winter break: Usually two weeks from approximately 20–22 December 2025 to 4–6 January 2026.

Spring break: One week in March or April, varying by district. Not necessarily aligned with Easter (20 April 2025).

Martin Luther King Jr. Day (20 January): Schools are typically closed on MLK Day — one of the few federal holidays where school closure is nearly universal across the country.
