A school calendar template you fill in once and reuse for any year
This is a free, editable school calendar template that builds a finished academic year for you. Set the month your year starts, mark your holidays and breaks, and you have a printable calendar in a couple of minutes. Because it is built to be filled in rather than fixed to one year, you are never hunting for a new template each fall. Open it, set the start year, and it rebuilds for whatever year you need.
A blank template you can edit completely
Start from a clean, blank school calendar and make it yours. Choose your start month, show ten to thirteen months so it covers your full year, and pick whether weeks begin on Sunday, Monday, or Saturday. Set which days count as the weekend. Everything on the calendar updates instantly as you change each option, so the template always matches the way your school actually runs.
Add your holidays, breaks, and key dates
Mark the days that matter and they appear with clear labels: first day, last day, holidays, vacations, no-school days, teacher and professional development days, early release, exams, and events. Each one can be a single day or a date range, so a full winter break takes one entry instead of twelve, and every entry stays editable. You can also auto-fill national public holidays for your country and then keep, change, or remove them.
Covers this school year and next
The template opens on the upcoming academic year by default and works just as well for the current year or the one after. Set it for 2025-2026, 2026-2027, or any year ahead, and the grid rebuilds with the correct days and weekdays every time. There is no stale, pre-dated template to replace, because the dates are generated from the year you choose.
How many weeks and days are in a school year?
A typical school year runs about 36 weeks of instruction, or roughly 180 school days, though the exact figure depends on your country, district, and how many breaks and holidays fall inside the year. This template counts it for you: as you add weekends, holidays, and breaks, the live totals show school days, school weeks, days off, and weekend days for the exact calendar you have built. Adjust one break and the counts update, so you can see precisely how many weeks are in your school year before you print.
Print it or download a clean PDF
When the calendar looks right, print it directly or download a print-ready PDF in clean black and white that stays sharp on paper and at the front of a classroom. Choose a full year-at-a-glance grid, a grid with note lines, a grid with a notes box, or a set of monthly pages. It works for teachers, school offices, homeschool families, and parents keeping the year organized at home.

Love this website ❤️
Hello! I love the school calendars as I am a school nurse. I’ve used the monthly calendars the past two years. I don’t see a school calendar divided individually by month like in previous years. I do see the school calendar as the 12 months all on one page but may you please consider bringing back the individual school calendar divided by months? The month to month is so helpful to share with my staff. Thank you
I will get those back up ASAP but I am travelling now so it will take a while. In the meantime I suggest you use the monthly calendars from here. They are the same calendars but they are not organized in one booklet.
