The school year begins in September and ends in late may.
All schools have cafeteria services.
The school system, under the guidance of a dynamic school board, places a strong emphasis on academic achievement. Athletic and extracurricular activities are encouraged, to adapt our young people more readily to the mainstream of life. There are several Art and Musical Institutes and Special Education Schools. Evening classes for both undergraduate and graduate level courses are available at Randolph AFB, which is adjacent to the City of Schertz. In addition, the Alamo Community College District has begun day and evening classes in nearby Live Oak for continuing education and two year curriculum in a variety of disciplines.
