Are TermBreaks dates the official Singapore MOE school holidays?
Yes. Dates are taken from the Ministry of Education academic calendar for MOE kindergartens, primary and secondary schools. Every page cites the official source and last verified date.
Is Children's Day a school holiday for secondary school students?
No. Children's Day is a scheduled school holiday for MOE kindergartens, primary schools and primary sections of full schools only. Secondary school students attend school as normal.
Do junior colleges follow the same Singapore school calendar?
Not entirely. Junior college Year 1 and Millennia Institute Year 1 start later than primary and secondary schools, and JC Year 2 and MI Year 3 finish when the GCE A-Level examinations end rather than on the primary and secondary year-end date. Those MOE dates are on the Junior Colleges and Millennia Institute calendars. This page is the MOE kindergarten, primary and secondary calendar.

Where can I verify Singapore school holiday dates?
Cross-check the Ministry of Education academic calendar at moe.gov.sg/calendar. TermBreaks links sources and last-verified dates on every calendar page and on the methodology page.
Does the Singapore calendar include public holidays?
Yes. Alongside MOE terms and school holidays, we list gazetted Singapore public holidays from the Ministry of Manpower, including Mondays observed when a holiday falls on Sunday. These feed future long-weekend planning tools and help you see when schools and workplaces are both closed.
