<p>I heard they are planning to get rid of saturday school? Any confirmations or progress?</p>
<p>They got rid of it already, however their thanksgiving break is shortened. That is what I heard from my tour guide. </p>
<p>Exeter will have 8 Saturday classes in the 2014-15 school year.</p>
<p>There are still a few Saturday classes during the year, because of the way terms and holidays fall, and the need to match up seasons with athletic competitor schools. They want each term to have the same number of class days, so each student taking the course no matter in which term, is able to have a similar experience. They did not want to start earlier or end later either, so the small number of Saturday classes depends on how the holidays fall. The Saturday classes just go to noon anyway, and I have not heard that they are considered a burden any more. </p>
