Parents In Abu Dhabi Are Proud And Excited Over Last Day Of School

Summer holidays officially started in Abu Dhabi today! And both, parents and children are brimming with excitement. “Now it’s time for some serious summer fun,” posted one mother on her Instagram handle.

Schools are finally off in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi summer vacations for schools following an April start began today. Woohoo, it’s time to put on some party shoes!

This is according to ADEK (Department of Education and Knowledge), the authority that overlooks public and private schools across the emirate. For schools following a September start, the summer break will be after June 27, 2025. Not too far either…

The summer break will last for about eight weeks for all schools

That’s two months of too much fun! According to one mother, who posted a picture from her daughter’s last day of school, they will reopen on August 25, 2025. An excited mommy wrote, “Goodbye homework and lunchbox, hello holidays.” Phew, everyone knows the effort that goes behind making children study and preparing their snacks!

This mum was so proud of her two girls

The family moved from England to Abu Dhabi last year. “A year that started in England and ends in Abu Dhabi. What a journey,” penned an emotional mama, who goes by the name abudhabi_tales on Instagram. Her daughters went from a school in a tiny village in England with just 80 students to an international school in Abu Dhabi, boasting of 1600 students from all over the world. New country, new school, new routines, new friends – all with a smile on their faces!

She added, “This is not just the end of a school year. It is a celebration of everything they have overcome. The quiet bravery, the small wins. The big emotionals, the incredible growth.”

Here’s to a summer full of fun, friends, family time, late nights and junk food! Happy holidays kiddos!
