The Conselleria de Educación has published the official calendar for the 2026/2027 academic year across the Comunitat Valenciana, setting the first day of class for 9 September 2026 and the last for 18 June 2027.
Academic year structure
The Conselleria de Educación, Cultura y Universidades, through the directorate general of Teaching Centers, has published the calendar for the 2026/2027 school year. For the majority of students—Infantil, Primaria, ESO, Bachillerato, and Formación Profesional (both basic and intermediate/advanced)—classes will start on Wednesday 9 September 2026 and run until 18 June 2027, totalling 179 teaching days. Other programmes will follow later start dates: basic qualification and second-chance FP courses begin on 14 September; adult education, music and dance, and plastic arts and design on 14 September as well; special sports education on 21 September; and Official Language Schools on 28 September.

Holidays and non-teaching days
The calendar designates two main holiday blocks. Christmas holidays will run from 22 December 2026 to 6 January 2027, inclusive. Easter holidays are set from 25 March to 5 April 2027, inclusive. In addition, four public holidays fall within the school period: 9 October (Valencian Community Day), 12 October (National Day of Spain), 8 December (Immaculate Conception), and 19 March (Saint Joseph's Day).
Municipal autonomy
Municipal School Councils will retain the ability to schedule three additional local holidays. Furthermore, once a planned regulatory amendment is approved, councils may request swapping between one and four teaching days for non-teaching days, provided the same number of days are compensated elsewhere in the calendar. The director general, Jorge Cabo, described this step as reinforcing local flexibility.
