Re: What are quarters/trimesters/semesters?
No, up until college you have three terms of learning.
At college and university you have two semesters of learning followed by an examination period. You can't really apply terms from one to the other.

Other colleges use the exact same terms but call them trimesters because they don't consider the summer term as part of their 'school year' even though they do offer it. I went to one of these colleges. Colleges on the semester system have two terms between early fall and late spring. They typically do not include a summer session at all in this sort of designation even though they do offer it. I'm sure that there are exceptions.
