School calendar: When winter holidays end in Buenos Aires province

Students, teachers, and families in the province of Buenos Aires are preparing for the end of their winter break. The 2026 school calendar confirms that the last day of the recess will be Friday, July 31st. Following this, the return to classrooms is scheduled for Monday, August 3rd.

The article presents a comprehensive overview of the winter holiday schedule across all 24 of Argentina's provinces for the year 2026. While the Buenos Aires province and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) share the same holiday period from July 20th to July 31st, other regions have different dates. For instance, Córdoba, Mendoza, San Juan, San Luis, and Santa Fe provinces observe their winter break earlier, from July 6th to July 17th.

Many provinces, including Catamarca, Chaco, Chubut, Corrientes, Formosa, Jujuy, La Pampa, La Rioja, Misiones, Neuquén, Río Negro, Salta, Santa Cruz, and Tierra del Fuego, will have their winter holidays from July 13th to July 24th. Santiago del Estero shares the same end date as Buenos Aires, with its holidays concluding on July 31st.

All 24 jurisdictions have committed to fulfilling the requirement of 190 effective school days, as stipulated by current regulations agreed upon last November. However, each province retains the authority to determine its own specific class schedule, leading to variations in the timing of breaks like the winter recess.
