Term structure
The Little U year
We follow a 4+2 cycle: four months of activities and classes, followed by two months for projects and rest. This gives families focused learning periods with time to breathe in between.
Updated once a term. Activities change every term — what’s shown here isn’t indicative of what’s coming up next.
Term 1
Jan – Apr
Activities and classes, overseen by Little U staff
Term 1 break

Term 2

Projects and break
There are no classes on public holidays (official work holidays, not special school days like Youth Day). Community-arranged activities may still happen on public holidays, such as a Deepavali outing. During break months, Family Track and Youth Track Learners may continue project work or start their own ground-up activities. Activities during breaks are organised by members themselves.
