Charterhouse School - School Terms

School Terms

There are three academic terms (known as Quarters) in the year,

  • The Oration Quarter (OQ), from early September to mid December.
  • The Long Quarter (LQ), from mid January to late March. Therefore, it traditionally had the distinction of being the shortest third of the school year, despite its name.
  • The Cricket Quarter (CQ), from late April to late June or early July.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or terms:

    “And Guidobaldo, when he made
    That grammar school of courtesies
    Where wit and beauty learned their trade
    Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
    Had sent no runners to and fro
    That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Talleyrand said that two things are essential in life: to give good dinners and to keep on fair terms with women. As the years pass and fires cool, it can become unimportant to stay always on fair terms either with women or one’s fellows, but a wide and sensitive appreciation of fine flavours can still abide with us, to warm our hearts.”
    —M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)
