The federal educational institutions, including Islamabad Model Schools and colleges, have officially announced their summer vacation schedule for the year 2026. The break is slated to begin on May 25 and will extend until July 31, providing students with a two-month respite from academic activities. This announcement comes as part of the annual academic calendar adjustments aimed at aligning school operations with seasonal considerations.
In a significant development, the institutions are scheduled to resume classes on August 3, 2026. Despite the vacation period, the notification emphasizes that the heads of these institutions along with the administrative personnel will remain on duty, maintaining office hours from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. This measure ensures that essential administrative functions and oversight continue uninterrupted during the holidays.
Meanwhile, special coaching sessions are planned for students enrolled in grades 10 and 11. These classes will be conducted throughout June and July, aiming to provide additional academic support and preparation during the vacation. This initiative reflects an effort to balance the holiday period with continued educational engagement for senior students.
Furthermore, the notification highlights that various institutional activities such as school maintenance, staff training programs, and other administrative tasks will proceed during the summer break. These ongoing efforts are intended to enhance the learning environment and operational efficiency ahead of the new academic session.
