First day of school holidays in La Rioja. Eleven weeks of vacation ahead until the next course starts. When does it start? What are the holidays and long weekends that will be enjoyed in the 2024-2025 academic year in La Rioja? When will there be holidays in educational centers? What will Holy Week be like? The school calendar reveals all the unknowns.
The start of classes is generally marked on September 9 and the end of the course on June 23 (except ESDIR, which ends on the 27th). The main novelty for the next academic year is the Easter holidays, which are once again a full week of holidays, as occurred in the 2022-2023 academic year, instead of Easter week, which is usually a holiday in La Rioja.
In addition to the general course start dates, Adult Education will start the course on June 16; while the students of the Official Language School, the centers that provide sports education in a special regime and the Distance Vocational Training will begin classes on October 1.
