International School Moshi operates a school year of about 180 teaching days similar to that of Europe or North America beginning in mid August and continuing until June. The school year is divided into four quarters, with a break between each. Although the usual time for admission of new students is in August at the beginning of the school year, it is possible to admit students at other times if space permits.
