Structure of the IEP
This structure applies to students in all levels. Reading, Listening & Speaking, and Writing run Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday*. The Combined Skills Content course runs two days a week: Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday* depending on the level. Fridays are reserved for independent study, field trips, or other extracurricular activities. Fall and Spring semesters are 16 weeks long. Each semester has two 8-week sessions. Summer is divided into two 4-week sessions for a total of 8-weeks. The full time that students attend classes per day is between 4-5.5 hours a day. This creates a total of 21-24 credit hours per week.
