2024-2025 New York City School Calendar is out

2024-2025 New York City School Calendar (and the 2025-2026)

It’s hard to believe the 2023-2024 school year is almost over, and summer break is near. While we still have a few weeks (eek!) to go on this school year, many of us are starting to take a glance at what the school calendar for 2024-2025 will look like.

As many parents know, the calendar is essential for families as it helps to plan school breaks, early dismissals, trips to see the grandparents, after-school care, and sports, as well as figuring out when we need to take off work for school conferences and more.

And Dear DOE, it helps to have this calendar, thank you.

And there is more. The Department of Education also released the 2025-2026 calendar. Okay, yes, we need to finish up this school year, but remember that post-pandemic, we were all frantically waiting for the calendar. Having 2025-2026 ahead of time is super helpful and appreciated.

Psst..the school year isn’t over, here is the NYC School Calendar 2023-2024: NYC DOE Calendar

Garden School

A coed, fully-accredited, independent school in Jackson Heights offering an excellent and affordable Nursery&ndash;Grade 12 education. Small classes allow for a personalized approach.

The École

At The &Eacute;cole, we believe that the goal of education is to develop well-informed, well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate students who can create and connect to a world filled with possibilities. This belief is at the heart of our uniquely designed bilingual program, in which students learn not just to speak, read, and write in two languages but also to think, feel, and act in ways informed by two cultures. To always see, explore, and understand the world around them from two perspectives is the gift of the deeply bi-literate, bi-cultural student. Artfully blending the curriculum requirements and pedagogical approaches of the French and American systems, our native-speaking faculty create rich academic environments for a diverse, international student body. From Maternelle through Middle School, students at The &Eacute;cole are guided through the core language arts, social studies, math, and sciences content, as well as character and cultural enrichment in both French and English for all subjects. In our intimate classroom settings or out and about in New York City&rsquo;s many artistic and historical institutions, using traditional and technology-based techniques, our teachers aspire to provide individual and group bilingual learning opportunities that engage, challenge, and inspire.
