With about a month remaining until the extended winter holiday, schools across the UAE are bustling with activity. From end-of-term assessments and parent-teacher meetings to outdoor excursions and sports days, the final weeks of the term are packed. This year, international-curriculum schools will enjoy a nearly four-week break — longer than the usual three weeks — beginning with National Day celebrations on December 2–3 and continuing from December 8, 2025 to January 4, 2026. During this period, younger students take part in field trips and festive events, while older grades stay focused on pre-board exams and final practicals. Khaleej Times
