Our 5-Term Model: Enhancing Consistency
We follow a 5-term academic calendar designed to promote consistency and student well-being. Here’s how it works:
- Eight-Week Terms: Each term spans 8 weeks, allowing for focused learning and meaningful progress.
- Two-Week Breaks: After every term, students enjoy a refreshing 2-week break. These breaks provide essential downtime for rest and reflection.
- Consistent Routines: The regularity of our 5-term model helps students maintain study habits, build momentum, and stay engaged.
- Balanced Approach: By balancing intensive terms with well-deserved breaks, we prioritise both academic achievement and student health and wellbeing.
