Public holidays and private-school exceptions
Religious holiday dates can depend on official announcements and moon sighting. Tentative public holidays are excluded from this school-break download. Confirm closure dates directly with the school.
The Central Bank of Bahrain bank-holiday list is a separate reference for bank closures. Private-school holidays should be checked against each school’s own calendar.
Planning a move or a school visit?
Use these dates to ask admissions about term-time visits, assessment appointments and midyear entry. A holiday calendar does not confirm available places or the school’s admissions-office hours.
