Holiday breaks
Sharjah private-school winter break: family trips
The Sharjah Private Education Authority's notice of 3 August 2026 sets the 2026/27 calendar for private schools, excluding Indian and Pakistani curricula. Classes began on 31 August 2026. Student winter break is 14–31 December 2026, with classes resuming on 4 January 2027; 3 January is the derived last day before classes, not an extension of the published holiday. This page covers the winter break; check SPEA and your school for other breaks. Ministry dates for other schools are not borrowed.
