Karnataka School Holidays in December 2025 - Check Complete list of School Closure and Winter Breaks

  Karnataka School Holiday December 2025  - December 2025 is set to bring multiple school holidays across Karnataka, with breaks scheduled for state-level events, Christmas celebrations, and routine academic planning by several institutions. Parents and students should stay alert to school-wise notifications, especially as some closures are tied to city-specific events in Bengaluru.

Schools Closed on December 5, 2025 

Many schools in Bengaluru will remain closed on December 5, 2025, due to citywide preparations for government-related events. Authorities are expected to impose traffic restrictions in central Bengaluru, prompting educational institutions to avoid commuting challenges for students and staff.

• Several private schools may shift to online classes for the day.
  

• Students must check official circulars from their respective schools for the final confirmation.
  

• Parents should plan travel timings accordingly due to anticipated diversions and slow traffic movement.

Christmas Holidays: Schools Closed on December 24 & 25

Schools across Karnataka will observe holidays on:

• December 24, 2025 (Christmas Eve)
  

• December 25, 2025 (Christmas Day)
  

Most schools in the state follow these two days as mandatory holidays.  Additionally, some institutions—especially Christian-minority schools—may conduct weeklong Christmas celebrations, events, or cultural programs during the same week. A few might also extend the holiday duration based on their academic calendar.

School-Wise or City-Specific Updates to Expect

Since holiday decisions may vary across districts, the following updates are expected:

• Bengaluru urban schools are more likely to issue special circulars for Dec 5.
  

• Private schools may choose online/hybrid classes during event-related closures.
  

• Rural and district-level schools will follow standard holiday notifications issued by the Education Department.
  

• Christmas week activities may differ from school to school.
  

Parents and students should stay in touch with class teachers, school WhatsApp groups, or the school website.
