Rivendell Academy runs a trimester schedule with a six period day for grades 7-8 and five period day for grades 9-12. Each block is sixty-five (62) minutes for grades 9-12, fifty-five (55) for grades 7-8. Core courses in grades 7-10 meet for the entire year. All other courses meet for one or two trimesters.
The 7/8 model is integrated and runs on a two-year rotation. Classes are designed using a multi-age model. Seventh and eighth graders are grouped together in all core classes except math which is grouped by grade level.
Our Program of Studies is under revision. Please check back soon.
