Good Friday 2025: Which US schools and colleges will close?

Good Friday 2025, on April 18, is not a federal holiday, so US schools and colleges aren’t mandated to close. Twelve states recognize it as a state holiday, typically closing public institutions. Elsewhere, closures depend on local districts or colleges, with some aligning with spring break or offering accommodations. Check academic calendars for specifics, as practices vary widely, especially for private and Catholic schools.
