Cantonal terminology

Canton and school-group logic

EDK-oriented dates make the range comparable, but local arrangements and individual schools can still differ.

Exception check

Check the local calendar

Local dates can differ

Canton, municipality and school-group calendars can differ from the general range.

Employment leave remains separate

Public holidays inside or next to a school break do not automatically create holidays from work.
