In many schools the day is being extended, or being re-scheduled by starting earlier and finishing earlier. Also, the traditional three-term (three-semester) year is turned into five or six terms of very similar length.

In the more radical versions, the school is moving towards a 24/7, 364 offer. Students, of course, attend for a standard, overall time, but the points at which they attend can vary, eg a student might attend during afternoons and evenings, but not mornings.
