Here at KCMS we run a 6-period schedule that rotates on semesters. This means that each student has six classes each semester; four core classes (English, math, science, social studies) and two exploratory/elective classes. Exploratory courses change each semester and elective courses are year-long courses. 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.
