International School of Busan (ISB) winter holiday: family trips
The International School of Busan (ISB) 2026–27 calendar, approved by its board in September 2025, sets winter holiday from 21 December 2026 to 8 January 2027. 18 December is an early dismissal at 12:00, not a full day off. These are ISB dates only, not other Busan or Korean schools. The seven-day example, 21–27 December, is part of the holiday, not the whole holiday.

What to weigh
- The 21–27 December example is one week inside the holiday; change the days to match your plans.
- Confirm the January start date with ISB before booking a return.
- Adults' days off depend on the employer; this page says nothing about work leave.
- The shortlist is a cost-only illustration ranked on modelled cost; the calendar dates do not become an exact-date airfare search, and it does not filter by flight time, direct service, weather or entry rules. Check those yourself.
- The budget is an editable illustration in local currency for a family of four, not a typical, recommended or guaranteed amount.
Questions
- Do other schools share these dates?
- Not necessarily. These dates are for ISB only; check your own school.
- Are these live prices?
- No. They are modelled whole-trip estimates for the example inputs shown. Change the departure city, days, budget or party to recalculate.
