QUADMESTER
The quadmester system includes four academic sessions throughout the school year.
Advantages of the Quadmester System
-
-
-
Focused Learning: Students take fewer courses at a time, allowing them to focus more deeply on each subject.
-
Improved Time Management: Balancing only two or three subjects per quadmester makes organizing study time easier.
- Reduced Stress: Managing fewer assignments and exams at one time helps reduce academic pressure.
-
Opportunity for Skill Development: Intensive focus on fewer subjects encourages better retention and mastery of content.
-
Flexibility for Electives: Students can try a variety of elective courses without overloading their schedules.
-
Easier Catch-Up Opportunities: Students who fall behind in a subject have shorter terms and can recover in subsequent quadmesters.
-
Faster Credit Completion: Students can complete credits more quickly, potentially graduating early or having more flexibility for advanced courses.
