Quarter 1
Fall
September – November
Plan your year
A calendar you can plan around.
Lessons run on a published, predictable yearly calendar — 44 weeks of instruction a year, split into four quarters — so families always know what's ahead before a new quarter begins.
The quarter system
Four quarters. Eleven lesson weeks each.
Quarter 2
Winter
December – February
Quarter 3
Spring
March – May
Quarter 4
Summer
June – August
Each quarter is 13 weeks long. Two of those weeks are scheduled “off-weeks” — whole weeks with no lessons, set aside for holidays, rest, and planning — leaving 11 lesson weeks per quarter. Across a full year, that's 44 weeks of instruction (11 lesson weeks × 4 quarters).
Published in advance
Know your dates before the quarter starts.
Every quarter's exact dates and off-weeks are set and published ahead of time, so families can plan travel, school breaks, and other commitments with confidence — there are no surprise schedule changes mid-quarter.
