Benefits of a 4-hour day

Fewer school hours per day allows students to complete school the essential school courses, and have time to engage in after-school activities and be able to get to bed at a decent hour.  By having fewer school hours, students can go out, explore new things that will benefit them and participate in creative processes and skill-building. 

We also support a four-day week.  Students are less distressed about going to school and their attendance and grades improves significantly.

• Students have better focus with a shorter day and tend to have better behavior
• Students benefit from having the time for extra-curricular activities.  This allows for reduced stress & better sleep that lead to better focus, grades and mood.
• The shorter day reduces anxiety of going to school.
