The school year in Denmark – this is IMPORTANT to know!

Each municipality determines the dates of school holidays individually (since January 1, 2007, the country has been divided into 98 municipalities). The Ministry of Children and Education sets only the start date of summer holidays.

Almost all municipalities adhere to the general dates for the 2026-2027 school holidays. In some cases, there are deviations of one or two days. The only exception is the winter holidays. To prevent the collapse of the transportation system and overcrowding of hotels, they are held in the seventh or eighth week of the year.

Some schools may deviate from the regular school schedule by a few days. This is primarily the case with private schools and grammar schools. There can be many reasons for this, including local events, local holidays, religious holidays, and so on.

IMPORTANT! In this article, we have provided dates as they appear on municipal websites. However, this may be misleading. For example, in the municipality of Næstved, the Ascension Day holidays officially run from May 6 to 7, 2027. And in the municipality of Esbjerg, they run from May 6 to 9, 2027. However, children in both municipalities have holidays through May 9, as schools are closed on May 8 and 9, as they are Saturdays and Sundays.
