About the Trinidad & Tobago School Calendar
The school calendar is set by the Ministry of Education and applies to government and government-assisted primary and secondary schools across Trinidad and Tobago. Private schools set their own calendars but usually follow the same term structure. The academic year runs from early September to late June or early July, divided into three terms.
Term I (September–December) is the longest term and ends just before Christmas. Term II (January–March/April) covers the Carnival season — schools close for Carnival Monday and Tuesday — and ends with the Easter break. Term III (April–July) is exam season, when SEA, CSEC and CAPE examinations are written, and finishes with the long July/August vacation.
Public holidays that fall during a term are school days off — the term cards above show which holidays land in each term. Use the long weekends guide when planning family trips around the school year, and always verify dates with your child's school for any local variations.
