You’ll find out when summer, autumn, Christmas, Easter, semester break, and Pentecost holidays begin and end in Austrian schools. ALYO.Info will also list public holidays for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school years. Schools are closed on these dates.
When do schoolchildren study and relax in Austria?
In Austria, there are two types of educational institutions: private and public. Private schools, with public rights, follow the same school year schedule as public schools. This schedule is typically followed by special schools, polytechnics, and vocational schools. There are two levels of compulsory schooling:
Primary school (from 6 to 10 years old).
Secondary school or lower level of gymnasium (from 10 to 14 years old).
Unlike school holidays in Germany, where dates are determined by the federal states, the Austrian school schedule is determined by the Federal Ministry of Education, Science, and Research. It varies slightly between federal states. Austrian schoolchildren will have the following holidays:
Summer holidays (dates vary in different federal states).
Autumn holidays.
Christmas holidays.
Semester holidays (dates vary in different federal states).
In addition to school holidays, children in Austria are given time off on public holidays. However, unlike many countries, Austria does not reschedule public holidays. If a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the school schedule remains unchanged. Schools are open on the preceding Friday and the following Monday.
In addition to regular holidays, some federal states have additional days off. Typically, these are All Souls’ Day and/or Patron Saint’s Day. We’ve listed these dates for each federal state below .
Austria has a liberal attitude toward representatives of various religions. Students can notify school administration if they need one or more days off for religious purposes. However, there are certain restrictions. Representatives of the main religions provide a list of important dates when children must be excused from school. Only on these days can a student or their parents receive an extra day off.
