ITE School Holidays 2026 & 2027
ITE runs on intake-based academic calendars that differ from both MOE schools and the polytechnics. Here are the vacation dates for January and April intake students.
ITE (Institute of Technical Education) students often get confused when they compare notes with friends at polytechnics or MOE schools — the holidays never seem to match. That’s because ITE runs on its own intake-based structure, and it actually publishes separate calendars depending on whether you started in January or April, and whether you’re on a Nitec or Higher Nitec / Diploma track. Here’s what we could confirm for 2026/2027.
January Intake: Nitec & 3-Year Higher Nitec
| Break | Dates |
|---|---|
| Term Break 1 | 21 March – 5 April 2026 |
| Term Break 2 | 13 June – 12 July 2026 |
| Term Break 3 | 19 September – 4 October 2026 |
| Year-End Break | 12 December 2026 – 10 January 2027 |
April Intake: Diplomas & 2-Year Higher Nitec
| Break | Dates |
|---|---|
| Term Break 1 | 13 June – 12 July 2026 |
| Term Break 2 | 19 September – 4 October 2026 |
| Year-End Break | 12 December 2026 – 10 January 2027 |
| Term Break (next cycle) | 20 March – 4 April 2027 |
A word of caution: study weeks, exam periods, and internship schedules vary by course group within ITE, so the dates above are the general vacation windows rather than a course-specific timetable. If you’re planning something time-sensitive — a trip, a part-time job schedule, anything non-refundable — check your course’s own calendar on the ITE student portal before you commit.
Public Holidays Still Apply
Like every other student in Singapore, ITE students get the standard public holidays on top of term breaks. Check our Singapore Public Holidays 2027 page for the full gazetted list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does ITE have two different holiday calendars?
ITE runs two intakes a year — January and April — and course type (Nitec vs Higher Nitec vs Diploma) also affects the exact term structure, so ITE publishes separate calendars rather than one blanket schedule.
Do ITE holidays match polytechnic holidays?
Not exactly, though there’s some overlap in September and December. See our Polytechnic School Holidays 2026 & 2027 page to compare.
When is the next ITE term break after September 2026?
The year-end break for both intakes runs from 12 December 2026 to 10 January 2027.
Dates are general vacation windows compiled from ITE’s published academic calendar structure. Study/exam weeks vary by course — confirm specifics with your own course calendar on the ITE portal. Last verified: September 2026.
