FAQ
When are the next Newfoundland and Labrador school holidays?
Open the Newfoundland and Labrador hub for a live countdown to the next break, or pick a year calendar for Christmas break, mid-winter/March break and summer holidays. Board calendars can differ slightly from the reference dates we publish.
Are TermBreaks dates the official NL school holidays?
Dates are taken from the cited Newfoundland and Labrador education authority or a large public board used as the provincial reference. Every page links the source and last-verified date. Always confirm first/last instructional days with your school board.
Do all Newfoundland and Labrador schools follow the same calendar?
No. Canadian school boards (and Quebec centres de services scolaires) set instructional calendars within provincial rules. Christmas and March/mid-winter breaks are usually aligned, but PA days and start/end dates often differ.
How many major Newfoundland and Labrador school holiday blocks are there each year?
Most Newfoundland and Labrador public calendars include a Christmas/winter break, a mid-winter or March break, and a long summer holiday from late June until after Labour Day. Some boards also add a fall break.
