SG School HolidaysSingapore School Holidays 2024
The MOE school holidays for 2024, with the full academic calendar for primary, secondary, JC and MI.
Singapore's 2024 school holidays are the four scheduled MOE breaks: the March, June, September and year-end holidays. The June holidays, the longest at about four weeks, run 25 May to 23 Jun. In total, 2024 has 94 scheduled school holiday days across the four breaks. Primary and secondary schools share the same dates; junior colleges and Millennia Institute differ in when their terms start and end. The polytechnics and ITE are not on this calendar at all, so a household with one child in secondary school and one in poly also needs the poly and ITE semester dates. Dates are the official MOE school calendar, cross-checked with data.gov.sg.

When the 2024 school year starts
Primary 1 and Kindergarten 1 start on Tuesday, 2 January 2024. Primary 2 to 6 and Kindergarten 2 start on Wednesday, 3 January 2024.
The two dates are deliberate. The youngest children get a first day with the rest of the school still at home, which is also why a household with a P1 and a P4 child needs cover for the older one on a day the younger one is already in class.

Common questions
How many school holidays are there in 2024?
There are 4 scheduled MOE breaks: the March, June, September and year-end holidays, plus the public holidays that fall on school days.
When does the 2024 school year start?
Term 1 begins on Tuesday, 2 January 2024 for secondary schools, and for Primary 1 and Kindergarten 1. Primary 2 to 6 and Kindergarten 2 start on Wednesday, 3 January 2024.
When does JC start in 2024?
JC Year 1 and MI Year 1 start Term 1 on Friday, 2 February 2024, about a month after primary and secondary schools. MOE lists them as their own cohort with their own term dates, so the January date most families have in mind is not the one that applies to them.
When are the JC school holidays in 2024?
The March, June and September breaks are the same as for primary and secondary schools. The year-end break is not. JC Year 1 and MI Year 1 finish Term 4 on Friday, 22 November 2024, a week after everyone else, so their year-end holidays start on Saturday, 23 November 2024 rather than Saturday, 16 November 2024, and run to 31 December either way. JC Year 2 and MI Year 3 finish with the GCE A-Level examinations, on no fixed date.
Are primary, secondary and JC dates the same?
Primary and secondary schools share the same term and holiday dates. JC Year 1 and MI Year 1 start Term 1 in February and finish later in November. MI Year 2 starts in mid-January. JC Year 2 and MI Year 3 end Term 4 when the A-Level examinations end, with no fixed date.
How long is the June school holiday in 2024?
The June holidays run about 4 weeks, the longest school break of the year, splitting the two semesters. Primary and secondary schools share these dates.
When do the 2024 year-end school holidays start?
The year-end holidays begin on 16 Nov, once the final term ends, and run to 31 December before the new school year starts in January.
