July 2025 observances for Indian schools: As schools reopen in July 2025, students are expected to get a mix of academic engagement and refreshing breaks. With Muharram on July 7, a possible monsoon shutdown, and various rituals, the month promises opportunities for relaxation and new learning experiences.
While schools across India welcome students after the summer break, July 2025 marks the start of a new academic session, filled with anticipation and a series of scheduled holidays. The month gives students a chance to get back to their routines, while also providing them with ample opportunities for leisure, skill development, and spending time with family.
A primary question on many minds is whether there will be a school holiday on July 7, 2025. The date coincides with Muharram, an important Islamic festival widely observed across various Indian states. However, the final decision on school closures depends on individual state governments and local authorities.
