Greek schools to reopen September 11 for the 2026-2027 academic year

Greek schools are set to reopen for kindergarten, primary, middle, and high school students on Friday, September 11, 2026. The first day will follow a non-standard schedule focused on the traditional blessing ceremony (agiasmos), followed by book distribution and administrative updates for parents and students.

There is no uniform time for these ceremonies across the country; each school unit determines its own schedule. In the Kastoria region, specific times have been set for various secondary schools, ranging from early morning sessions to evening ceremonies for night schools. Families are advised to check their specific school's digital communication channels for exact arrival and departure times.
