Modular Schedule
Classes run on a modular schedule. Each day is broken down into 17 time-periods called "mods". Mods are 20 minutes long, except the lunch mods, which are 26 minutes. The schedule is on a two-week cycle. There are no bells between mods, and students are responsible for arriving to classes on time. Students and faculty also have mods without classes, called "open labs", which are to be used as study periods. This schedule helps prevent "slacking off", and aids in preparation for a college schedule. Most students who attend this school flourish with this type of schedule due to the amount of open time available for course work, which is distributed several chapters at a time. cite web|url=http://www.incarnatewordhs.org/admissions/documents/Features%20of%20the%20Modular%20Scheduling%20System.pdf|title=Features of the Modular Schedule|accessdate=2007-06-19|author=IWHS
