School holidays in Belgium 2022, 2023, 2024

In this publication, School-Holidays.Info will talk about school holidays in Belgium for the years 2022, 2023, and 2024. We will provide the start and end dates in the Brussels, Flemish, and Walloon regions, as well as the dates of national and religious holidays when Belgian students have days off.

Holidays, Festivals, and Breaks in Belgium by Regions

There are several periods of rest for students in Belgian schools. These include:

• Summer holidays;
• Autumn holidays;
• Winter (Christmas) holidays;
• Carnival holidays;
• Spring break (optional);
• Easter holidays;
• Days off for Labor Day, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, and Armistice Day (November 11th)

Belgian schools sometimes have a spring break (spring or May holidays). Usually, they start on May 1st (Labor Day), and if it falls on a weekend or Monday, they begin on the preceding Saturday.

Belgium is divided into three main regions:

• Brussels-Capital Region;
• Flanders (Flemish Region);
• Wallonia (Walloon Region).

Holiday dates may vary depending on the region. In some school years, they coincide completely, while in others they differ partially. For example, the summer and autumn school holidays in Belgium for 2022 are different in the Brussels and Flemish regions, but the others coincide. Only national holidays remain unchanged.

Important:

In some years, one or more regions may have spring holidays. They usually start at the end of April or beginning of May and end closer to mid-May.

In international schools in Belgium, the start and end dates of school holidays usually coincide with regular ones. However, summer holidays are moved closer to the beginning of the year by 1-2 weeks.

Schools in Belgium may introduce additional days off for students at the discretion of the administration. They may be related to local holidays or significant dates, but more often they are introduced when teachers leave school to engage in preparation or professional development.
