School Holiday Dates 2016-2017

Schools in Bahrain have three semesters with a long summer break and a fairly short winter break. The school holidays differ by a day or two from school to school but generally most schools will begin and end in the same week. Please note that the Islamic holidays are approximate and rely on the sighting of the moon for confirmation.
