Daily instructional time for Whitehorse schools is 5 hours and 24 minutes for all classes, Kindergarten through Grade 7.
Additional time is added at the beginning of both the morning and afternoon sessions to enable students to make their way to classes prior to the beginning of the instructional periods. In the morning and after the lunch break, two bells are heard: the first bell signals for students to line up and proceed to classrooms, and the second for the commencement of classes.
