How Greenwich Compares to Neighboring Districts

Greenwich starts students on August 28 and finishes on June 22. Its Winter Recess and Spring Recess are each five weekdays. Nearby Fairfield County districts, including Stamford, Darien and New Canaan, publish their own calendars, and break weeks do not always line up. If you have children or relatives in more than one district, compare each official calendar before you book anything.

Planning a Family Trip? Best Times to Travel

The longest breaks give you the most room. Here is how they stack up.

Break	Dates	Length	Best for
Holiday Recess	Dec 23 to Dec 31, 2026	9 calendar days; 12 days in a row with New Year’s Day and the weekend	Longer trips and holiday travel
Winter Recess	Feb 8 to Feb 12, 2027, plus Presidents’ Day on Feb 15	8 days in a row with the weekend	Ski trips and warm-weather escapes
Spring Recess	Apr 12 to Apr 16, 2027	5 weekdays	Spring getaways, if snow days stay unused
Thanksgiving Recess	Nov 26 to Nov 27, 2026	2 days, with early release on Nov 25	Short family visits

Long weekends also help. Look at Labor Day (September 7), Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 18), Good Friday (March 26) and Memorial Day (May 31).
