Block scheduling, or blocking, is a way of organizing the school day used in some American K-12 schools, in which students attend fewer but longer classes each day than under a traditional period-based schedule. It is more common in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. In one common form a single class meets every day for a stretch of days before another class takes its place; in another form, the classes a student attends rotate through a repeating daily cycle.
