Year 2014-2015

Posted on May 19, 2014

The Department of Education (DepEd) has published the official school

calendar for School Year (SY) 2014-2015.
The next school year will be composed of 201 school days excluding
summer classes, according to Department Order No. 18, s. 2014 (PDF)
issued by Secretary of Education Armin Luistro. Classes for elementary
and secondary students will commence on June 2, 2014, and will end
on March 27, 2015.
The department order directs the heads of public and private
elementary and secondary institutions nationwide to follow the school
calendar.
Private schools, however, may choose to depart from DepEds official
calendar. These schools are, nevertheless, subject to the provisions of
Republic Act No. 7797, which prohibits them from beginning classes
earlier than the first Monday of June and later than the last day of
August.
The important dates for SY 2014-2015 are as follows:
