Columbus City Schools Calendar 2026-2027
For schools to coordinate and communicate with all of the students and parents of various classes and in different schools, the school calendar is essential. Because of this, a school must maintain a proper calendar that delineates student and non-student days, school and non-school days, as well as the various breaks throughout the year.
This page contains the major holiday dates from the 2026 school calendar for Columbus City Schools in Ohio.
Please check back regularly for any amendments that may occur, or consult the Columbus City Schools website for their 2026-2027 approved calendar. You may also wish to visit the school district homepage to check for any urgent or last-minute updates that may not have been incorporated into the official calendars.
Also note that we have incorporated non-student days such as teachers preparation days, teachers services days, and professional development days into the dates below. Visit the link above to view the full, original school calendar.
