Planning ahead for the next school year? Here’s a quick way for Marion County families to check important dates like breaks, holidays, and other schedule highlights.
Indiana law requires public schools to hold at least 180 instructional days each academic year for students at every grade level.
Between those required days in classrooms, schools schedule a variety of breaks, holidays, professional development days, and parent-teacher meetings. Some districts also build in virtual or asynchronous learning days throughout the year.
In Marion County, districts follow broadly similar calendars, typically featuring shorter summer vacations and longer breaks scattered throughout the school year.
Below are key dates for families to keep in mind for the 2025-26 academic calendar in Marion County’s school districts. Click the links provided for each district’s complete schedule.
