The autumn break, höstlov, takes place during week 44 and consists of two calendar days, Thursday October 29 and Friday October 30, 2026. This brief pause occurs during the autumn term, which continues until December 18. In addition to these scheduled breaks, individual schools in the municipality may have their own professional development days when there is no teaching, so please stay updated through information provided by your child's school.
The Christmas break, jullov, spans 23 calendar days, beginning on Saturday December 19, 2026, and ending on Sunday January 10, 2027. This holiday period covers the weeks from 51 through 1, including the Christmas and New Year celebrations. These dates are based on the official school year calendar from the municipality, but you should always verify with the specific school regarding any potential local variations.
About Borås
Borås is in Västra Götaland, about 60 kilometres east of Gothenburg, and has a long history as a textile town. The Textile Museum at the Textile Fashion Center tells that story, and Borås Zoo is one of the biggest family attractions in the region. The city uses the same term dates for all of its municipal compulsory schools.
How we collect and check the dates
Where do the dates come from?
All dates come from each municipality's own page about school term dates for compulsory school. We do not copy other sites' lists or reuse earlier years. Below the table there is a link to the source, so you can see where the date is written.
How are the dates checked?
When a break is added, the line of text on the municipality's page that the date is based on is saved. A date is only published if that line appears word for word on the municipality's page, under the right term and year. If the municipality only gives a week number, such as week 44, we convert it to Monday–Friday of that week. If there is no separate Christmas break listed, it is worked out from the last day of the autumn term and the first day of the spring term. Such dates are marked as calculated.
How often is the page updated?
An automatic check goes through the municipalities' pages every ten days and looks for breaks that are still missing. Breaks that are already over are not looked for. Dates already on the page are not overwritten automatically. If a municipality changes a break afterwards, we correct it by hand.
When do municipalities publish new term dates?
Most municipalities decide their term dates one to two years ahead, often in spring. So the next school year may be missing for a while for some municipalities. If no date is shown for a break, the municipality has not published it yet, or we have not been able to confirm it.
Why do municipalities have different breaks?
Each municipality decides its own breaks. The sports break is spread between week 7 and week 10 depending on where in Sweden you live, partly so the ski resorts are not full the same week. The autumn break is almost always week 44, and the Easter break is around Easter or the week after.
How many school days are in a school year?
According to the Swedish School Ordinance, the school year has at least 178 school days and 12 days off. It starts in August and ends in June. Days off that are not part of the main breaks are often single days, for example around Ascension Day.
Do the dates apply to independent schools and upper secondary?
The dates apply to the municipality's compulsory schools. Independent schools set their own term dates and may have other breaks. Upper secondary schools often follow the same breaks, but not always. Study days, when pupils are off but teachers work, are set by each school and are not listed here.
