Bimester

/baɪˈmɛstər/ noun

Definition

A period of two months or a school term lasting two months.

Etymology

From Latin 'bi-' meaning two and 'mensis' meaning month. Used especially in education systems that divide the academic year into two-month periods instead of traditional semesters.

Kelly Says

Some school systems use bimesters instead of semesters—it means students get grade reports and fresh starts four times a year instead of twice, which might actually help struggling students catch up faster.
