The School operates on a four-term structure, with each year commencing mid-January and concluding early December. Students begin their year with Orientation and Graded Conditioning classes.

All students are required to be in attendance on the first day of each term (or as otherwise specified) and are not permitted to take leave from the School until the completion of the last class at the end of each term.
