FAQ

How many academic periods does this calendar show?

This tool shows two semesters per year — semester 1 and semester 2. National MoE timelines are sometimes issued as three study periods; those are consolidated here into two semesters like many Saudi schools publish. Confirm with MoE notices or your school.

When does the 1448 AH / 2026/2027 school calendar start?

For 1448 AH / 2026/2027: teachers return Sunday 16 August 2026 (3 Rabi' al-Awwal 1448 AH); students begin Sunday 23 August 2026 (10 Rabi' al-Awwal 1448 AH).

Do these dates match the official calendar exactly?

Dates are taken from the Ministry of Education calendar and may shift by a few days if a new ministerial decision is issued or an unscheduled holiday is announced.

Does this calendar cover universities?

This calendar covers general education (primary, middle and high school). Saudi universities typically use a two-semester model and publish their own academic calendars.

Where are the 1447 and 1449 calendars?

All years are on this page: click the index link for 1447, 1448 or 1449 AH in the intro or sticky nav — each jumps to that year’s section (#year-1447, #year-1448, #year-1449).
