The Year-Round calendar requires students to attend school for 9 weeks of instruction and then receive 3 weeks of intersession for 4 quarters. Students observe all holidays and have around 5 weeks off in the summer. The Year-Round calendar has been in operation at our school for 9 years. During the 3 week intersession break students are offered Enrichment activities during the first and third intersessions in which they may attend for a fee. 18th Century Home Living in Boone, Calling All Kids in Hickory, and Reed's Gold Mine just to name a few places.
Teachers serve as chaperones on all trips and the students have a wonderful time.
