How is school education organized in Switzerland?

In the Swiss Confederation, the cantons and communities (municipalities) play the main role in the education system. They organize and manage the education system. But there are certain standards that are followed throughout the country.

Swiss children receive compulsory education starting at age four. By age 15-16, the Swiss have completed 11 years of compulsory education. This includes:

First cycle of education (kindergarten and primary school): 8 years (7 years in the canton of Ticino).
Lower secondary education (lower secondary school): 3 years (4 years in the canton of Ticino).

After compulsory education, young Swiss people can complete upper secondary education. They can choose between two options:

General education program or complete secondary education (prepares for higher education).
Basic vocational education and training (obtaining a profession with the possibility of employment in the specialty).

Important! Below you will find information about the summer, autumn, winter, spring and Easter school holidays in Switzerland in 2024, 2025 and 2026. The dates given apply to primary school and lower secondary school (unless otherwise stated). Institutions providing basic vocational education may adhere to this school year schedule.

Do children go to school during holidays in Switzerland?

In Switzerland, each canton sets the dates of public holidays. The only exception is the Swiss National Day, which is celebrated annually on August 1st throughout the country. It is officially mandatory for all cantons. All cantons have unanimously set three dates as public holidays:

New Year.
Ascension.
Christmas.

In different cantons there are from 9 to 15 public holidays. According to the law, they are equal to Sundays. That is, on these days, schools are closed. Also, each canton can establish up to 8 additional public holidays.

Some cantons introduce extra days off called “bridges”. They are introduced to connect a public holiday with a Saturday or Sunday. This way, schoolchildren get several days off in a row. For example, in 2023, Ascension Day was on Thursday, May 18. Many cantons made May 19 an extra day off. As a result, schoolchildren had a day off from Thursday to Sunday, from May 18 to 21, 2023.
