Schools in Bengaluru follow many different boards — e.g. Karnataka Government School (State board), Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE / ICSE), international curricula, etc.
Each board allows individual schools to set internal calendars and holidays (semester-breaks, festivals, internal exams, etc.).

Local Variation by School
Even within the same board — private schools, public schools — holiday patterns differ: some give longer winter breaks, others may have exams or extra classes.
Special holidays (religious/cultural/community-based) vary depending on the demographic of the school’s students.
No Central Public Repository
There is no single government or central website that publishes a “Bengaluru-wide school holiday schedule” for December 2025.
Most schools publish calendars internally (school website, notice board, circular to parents).
✅ What You Should Do to Get the Correct Holiday List for Your School
If you want to check whether your school is on holiday in December 2025 — here’s what to do:
Check the school’s official website — many publish annual academic calendars including holidays.
Look for parent circulars or notifications (via email/WhatsApp), where schools share dates for mid-term break, winter vacation, special holidays.
Contact the school office or administrative staff directly.
If it’s a state board school — check for official circulars from the relevant school’s district education office.
If it’s a private/CBSE/ICSE school — check affiliation / trust notices; calendars are often in PDF format.
💡 What a Typical December Holiday Schedule Might Look Like (Example)
While there is no universal schedule, many schools in Bengaluru follow a pattern something like:
Winter break or “Christmas/New Year vacation” — around mid-December to early January
A few scattered public holidays (e.g. local festivals) depending on community
Possible additional closure days for teacher training or administrative work
If your school follows such a calendar you might expect around 7–10 days of break in December — but again, there is no guarantee.
🎯 Recommendation for You
If you like — I can pull up a sample calendar for 5–10 popular CBSE/private schools in Bengaluru (as of 2025) — check whether any have publicly shared their 2025-26 holiday schedule. This might give you a rough idea of patterns for that kind of school.
