Easter Holidays: School Closure and Reopening Dates

This year, Orthodox Easter falls early, on April 12th. The Ministry of Education has announced that primary and secondary schools will be closed from Great Monday to Thomas Sunday. This means the last day of school before the holidays is Friday, April 3rd, and students will return to classes on Monday, April 20th. Students have only 8 working days before the schools close for Easter, starting from Sunday, March 23rd. The Easter holiday schedule varies each year depending on the date of the celebration.
