term break
Academic vacation period
A term break is a scheduled vacation period between academic terms, when classes are not in session.
Universities and schools divide the year into terms—semesters, quarters, or trimesters—with breaks between them: I'm going home for term break.
More common in British English and international contexts than American English, where "spring break" or "winter break" are preferred.
