About Miami-Dade County Public Schools

Miami-Dade County Public Schools publishes a separate calendar for technical colleges and adult education centers. It begins August 13, 2026, and ends July 28, 2027. The published schedule lists 216 days across three trimesters: August 13-December 17, January 4-April 16, and April 19-July 28. Individual courses may have different meeting dates, so students should check their center's timetable.

The published calendar has no classes during Thanksgiving week, November 23-27. Winter Recess runs December 21-January 1, and Spring Recess is March 22-26. Because this calendar continues after regular elementary and secondary schools finish on June 3, it also includes student holidays on June 18 for the Juneteenth observance and July 5 for the Independence Day observance.

Teacher planning days need an extra check for on-campus adult education programs. The standard calendar lists no student classes on these dates, but a principal may authorize a class-day exchange when activities in the day-school program disrupt adult education instruction. The district calendar does not identify center-specific swaps. Confirm your actual meeting days before making work, transportation or travel plans. The elementary Wednesday early-release rule is not part of this calendar.

Common questions

FAQs

When does the Miami-Dade technical and adult education year start?

The published first day is Thursday, August 13, 2026, which begins the first trimester. Individual technical college and adult education courses may follow different meeting schedules.

When is the last day for Miami-Dade technical colleges and adult education centers?

Wednesday, July 28, 2027, is the final student day on the published calendar and the end of the third trimester. July 29 is a staff planning day.

Do Miami-Dade adult education students have Thanksgiving week off?

Yes, under the published district calendar. Fall Recess is November 23-25, 2026, followed by Thanksgiving on November 26 and a recess day on November 27. The standard schedule resumes Monday, November 30.

When is winter break for Miami-Dade technical and adult education?

Winter Recess runs December 21, 2026, through January 1, 2027. The published calendar also lists December 18 as a teacher planning day with no student classes, and the second trimester begins January 4. Check with your center about any approved class-day exchange.

When is spring break for technical colleges and adult education centers?

Spring Recess is March 22-26, 2027. March 29 is a teacher planning day, so the standard published schedule resumes Tuesday, March 30. Confirm any center-specific class arrangement.

Do adult education and technical college students leave early on Wednesdays?

The district's one-hour Wednesday early-release rule belongs to specified elementary and K-8 grades, not this calendar. Adult and technical students should use their own center's daytime, evening or other course timetable.

Does the planning-day class-swap rule apply to every technical college course?

The official footnote specifically addresses on-campus adult education programs affected by activities of the day-school program. It does not announce a class swap for every technical college course. Students should follow their institution's published course schedule.

Is the technical and adult education calendar the same as the regular Miami-Dade school calendar?

No. Technical colleges and adult education centers follow a three-trimester calendar ending July 28, 2027. The regular elementary and secondary calendar ends June 3. The two calendars also differ in their summer dates and daily scheduling rules.
