Notes on the year
- Winter break: Monday 21 December 2026 to Sunday 3 January 2027. Two weeks over the turn of the year. Lessons resume Monday 4 January.
- Ramaḍān: Monday 8 February 2027 to Sunday 14 March 2027. Five weeks. Lessons resume Monday 15 March.
- ʿĪd al-Fiṭr: Monday 10 May 2027 to Sunday 16 May 2027. One week. Lessons resume Monday 17 May.
- Fees: the year is priced as a whole for its 38 teaching weeks, not per lesson, so the breaks above are already accounted for and nothing is charged across them.
- Individual lessons: a lesson you cannot attend inside term time is a cancellation, and is made up or credited under the cancellation policy.
