WHEN

WHEN will the academy meet?

We will answer the question by creating a program schedule.

A program schedule charts your academy across a timeline – starting with Day One through graduation.

As you look at the blank schedule, you need to ask how long and how often should or can your program meet.

While every program schedule is different, they typically fall into two groups:

Classroom

Built using one-hour blocks of time, your Classroom schedule will look like a Checker Board. (three to five times a week, one-hour per day, scheduled over the course of a school semester)

Summer Camp

Also built using one-hour blocks of time, the Summer Camp schedule should look like swim lanes.

(several hours a day scheduled over a single week)

YOUR TURN

Now, using a calendar, block out your academy strictly in terms of time.

Choosing a Start Date

Remember to pace yourself. How soon can you reasonably be expected to start the program? We suggest you allow at least four to six months to thoroughly develop the program content, work with local educators and recruits qualified cadets.
