Here at KCMS we run a 6-period schedule that rotates on trimesters. This means that each student has six classes each trimester; four core classes (English, math, science, social studies) and two exploratory/elective classes. Exploratory courses change each trimester and elective courses are year-long courses. On Tuesdays and Thursday students also have a 40-minute Advisement period to strengthen community and get caught up in classes. In addition, every day we start with a different period. This allows students to rotate through each of their classes during a strong academic time when they are awake and engaged.
