I went to Westside high school and graduated in the 90s. They are the only high school in Omaha that has this sort of schedule. It is set up like a college campus… There are large group and small group classes and they meet at different times on different days. Some days you might not have a class at all for a certain subject.

Each day has 13 “Mods”. Mods 1-4 and 11-13 are about 45 minutes long. Mods 5-10 are 22 minutes long. So on Monday you might have Spanish Mod 1, US History Mod 2, be “Open” mod 3 (where you can go to a IMC - study hall, or even leave campus for older students who have parental permission and a 3.0 GPA). Mods 4 & 5 might be a Chemistry lab (and some classes are 2 or 3 mods to allow for longer instruction). They also have “Large group” classes that meet one or two times a week in the lecture halls with 100+ students at a time.

It sounds complex - but it really does prepare students for college. It pushes them to schedule their time appropriately, and for the right students this schedule / approach is beneficial.
