Standard curriculums are arranged in 5 semesters lasting 9 weeks each and each semester has a different amount of vacation days: the first two semesters have 10 days each of vacation days, the third semester has 20 days; the fourth has 7 days, and the last semester has 23 days. A term is closed by testing students' knowledge of the compulsory material learned that term. Tests for the advanced courses can be taken anytime during the last two years of the core curriculum. The results of any tests taken by a student are merely used to show the school which area of higher education, if any, they should encourage for the particular student. Marks for compulsory courses are also used to distribute students evenly by aptitude across the different higher schools. There are no strict entry criteria and most students get into places of their choice.

Education in Caphiria is split into two: compulsory and non-compulsory education. Compulsory education consists of ''discatorium'' (children's school) and Core Education (''regulatorium''). Non-compulsory education takes the form of secondary education (''agnatumaticus'') and the higher education of academies (''academiae'') or universities (''universales'').
