This allows a full-time student to focus on two courses at once.<\/p>\n

There is also an academic summer term (July to mid-August) consisting of 6 weeks. As a result, during this summer term the school day is slightly longer.<\/p>\n

A typical day for a high school student during the academic year (September to June) would consist of one class in the morning and one in the afternoon. But with a third period in the later afternoon students have additional options.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1333″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Each day we have three periods:[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1302″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]A part-time student takes one course.
