What it does
TermBreaks is a reference site that lists official school holiday calendars for multiple countries, showing term dates, break lengths, and yearly schedules. Users can browse calendars by country and region, compare school holidays across two locations, and identify long weekends by combining public holidays with school breaks. Calendars are sourced from official education authorities and the site provides a methodology page explaining how dates are verified.
Use cases
- Planning a family holiday abroad by checking when school breaks align between two countries, such as the UK and Australia.
- Finding exact term dates for a specific state or territory, for example one of Australia's eight states or a Canadian province.
- Stretching annual leave by identifying public holidays adjacent to school breaks to create longer trips.
- Checking the school calendar for an upcoming move or relocation to a new country or region.
- Comparing break lengths across countries to decide the best time of year to travel internationally with children.
Who it is for
- Families with school-age children who need to plan trips around term dates and holidays.
- Parents or relatives in different countries who want to find overlapping school breaks for visits.
- Working parents looking to coordinate leave with school calendars across multiple regions.
- Teachers and school administrators researching how their own term schedule compares internationally.
Alternatives and comparison
The page does not name any competing services. General alternatives would include government education department websites (which publish official term dates for individual countries) and general calendar or travel-planning tools that may include public holiday data, though those typically lack consolidated, multi-country school term information in one place.
