	About Us
	Green Year Round Elementary School is a K-5 school that operates on the year round calendar. Students enrolled in year round schools are divided into four groups, called tracks. Each track has its own 180-day calendar, divided into nine-week quarters, with a three-week break at the end of each quarter. Year round schools provide a continuous learning experience; since students do not have long summer vacations, major reviewing in the fall is eliminated. The three-week breaks provide frequent enrichment and remedial opportunities for students during the year.
	Green Year Round is located in Raleigh, NC. In the 2004-2005 school year, we serviced 735 students from a diverse urban and suburban population. We are located near a major and well-known research industrial center and seven accredited colleges and universities. Green Year Round and the greater metropolitan area are positioned for growth and development in a rapidly expanding global economy.
