In a full-year, non-semestered school, students take 8 courses at the same time from September to June. Course contents are spread out throughout the entire school year. Students receive 8 credits for their classes after passing the June exams.
In a semestered school, students take 4 courses from September to January, and will receive 4 credits after passing the January exams. Students will then take a different 4 courses from February to June and will receive 4 credits after passing the June exams. Due to a more concentrated timeline, courses are taught at a faster pace.
Many senior students in grades 11 and 12 will find it more advantageous to study in a semestered school which allows them scheduling flexibility and the opportunity to complete courses in a faster pace than in a non-semestered school. Also, students might find it easier to concentrate on completing 4 courses per semester than on the 8 courses full year non-semestered program.
