The Sharjah Private Education Authority has officially published the academic calendar for the 2025–2026 school year. The last day of school will be July 2, 2026. Students in Sharjah’s private schools will go back to school on August 25, 2025.
Families can also start getting ready for the holidays. The winter break will last from December 8, 2025, to January 4, 2026, and classes will start again on January 5. Because of spring break, which is from March 16 to 22, students will have a whole week off before the last term starts.
This timetable is part of a bigger effort to make sure that all private schools in the United Arab Emirates have the same calendar. By setting dates in advance, the Sharjah Private Education Authority is helping parents, teachers, and students make more definite plans for the future.
For a broader look at how this unified academic schedule benefits students and families nationwide, this article on the UAE academic calendar 2025–2026 explains how the changes promote student wellbeing, reduce stress, and help families better coordinate their time together.
The new calendar tells schools exactly how to plan their year while still following the UAE’s national academic framework. Most private schools should have the same term dates, no matter what kind of curriculum the child is in, whether it’s American, British, IB, or Indian. There may be some small differences, though.
It’s official for now: families can take advantage of a clear schedule of breaks throughout the year, and Sharjah’s students go back to school in late August. The Sharjah Private Education Authority can still reach its goal of making education in the emirate more organised and less stressful with this new information.
