SCHOOL SCHEDULE:
In 2023-2024 school year, we are introducing a TRIMESTER SCHEDULE MODEL.
The trimester model is closely aligned with our Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum, which culminates with final examinations during the first 2 weeks of May every school year. The earlier school year start date allows our student-athletes additional training time to prepare for competitions, which start late September every year.
- Trimester 1 (T1): Mon. Aug. 14, 2023 – Mon. Nov. 13, 2023
- Trimester 2 (T2): Wed. Nov. 15, 2023 – Mon. Feb. 26, 2024
- Trimester 3 (T3): Wed. Feb. 28, 2024 – Fri. May 24, 2024
The course delivery in structured using an in-person model, however, we are able to pivot to a blended-learning model as required, particularly during the basketball season. This seamlessly integrates our online and in-person delivery teaching models when the student-athletes are competing.
