How it works
The dates on this page are the term dates SPARK Schools publishes for its learners. Where the junior and senior schools have different dates, the notes under each year say which one is shown. The countdown updates every time you open the page.
Independent schools in South Africa set their own calendars, so they often open and close on different days from public schools. Compare with the 2026 public school terms.
Other schools in Gauteng: Beaulieu College, Cornwall Hill College, Crawford International Pretoria, Crawford International Southdowns, Curro Hazeldean, Dainfern College, King David Schools, Midstream College. See all private school term dates.
