How dates are set
School calendars in Belgium
Each of Belgium's three language communities sets its own school calendar. Since 2022 the French-speaking community has two-week autumn and spring breaks and a shorter summer. Flanders kept the traditional pattern, and the German-speaking community now follows a calendar close to the Flemish one.
School holidays in Belgium are set by the governments of the three language communities.
German-speaking Community covers: Nine municipalities of Eastern Belgium: Eupen, Kelmis, Lontzen, Raeren, Amel, Büllingen, Burg-Reuland, Bütgenbach, Sankt Vith.
Single schools can add a few days of their own (for example for teacher training or local feasts). Check with your school for those.
