School Holidays in the French Alps

The school calendar for the French Alps: when the Alpine schools close for vacations and the children are on holiday. The calendar includes the dates of summer holidays, half-term, the spring break and the Christmas break.

These are the dates for Government School Calendar for the départements of the French Alps. Private schools may have slightly different dates for the school vacations; you will need to check with the relevant school.

Note: As of the new school year of September 2008 there are no longer Saturday morning classes for kindergarten and primary age children.

  • The school week is 24 hours long. Some schools opt for a four day week with six hours of classes per day on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; others adopt a five day week (Monday to Friday)
  • The school day's hours vary between regions but is generally 08:30-16:30 with two breaks
  • Lunch hours vary from school to school and in general last one and a half to two hours
