School years take place entirely inside a single calendar year - the exact start and end dates vary depending on the diocese, but generally school years begin between the 12th and the 24th day of Māltapārṇāvi (the first month of the year, the first of autumn) and end at the beginning of Bhaivyāvammi (eleventh month), a few days before both the summer solstice and the Bhaivyāvāṣara, the most important celebration in the Yunyalīlti/Chlouvānem calendar. Non-higher-education final exams usually take place during the following month, Īlāmyasena, while repair exams take place during Camimæchliė, the fourteenth and last month of the year.

Chlouvānem schools, today, are not gender-segregated, but (except for primary schools, and in a few areas also basic schools) this was not the case in the past. Until two centuries ago, seminaries were only open to girls, and in most dioceses this continued to be the case even after (during the Nāɂahilūmi years even some dioceses that had allowed boys into seminaries went back); it is only since the society-wide gender equality laws of 6347 (380Ɛ12) that gender segregation in basic schools was ended and boys were allowed nationwide into seminaries; however, many dioceses kept gender segregation in secondary schools for decades. Tumidajātia, the last diocese to end gender segregation, only did this in 6407 (385Ɛ12), 17 years ago.

Every school in the Inquisition by law requires pupils to wear a school uniform, called ''(tarlāmahi) leilausya'' (pl. ''leilausyai''). Obviously, as all clothing, these vary according to the region due to the wildly different climates, but they're usually of modest white- or light blue-dyed, or even undyed fabric everywhere; the typical mark that differentiates different schools is a small piece of cloth called ''kitalilvan'' (literally "house belt") that pupils tie to their left forearm; each school has its own motif or simply its name written on it. In most cases (as the majority of the population lives in year-round hot and often wet climate areas), the choices are the ''glaɂa'' (a large shirt-like cloth covering the legs, tied at the waist) and ''dhūbas'' (neckless shirt, often without sleeves, coming down up to the legs) typically aimed at boys, and the ''maghātam'' (a pair of baggy trousers) with ''pajlāka'' (a loose long shirt, often simply a large piece of cloth with spaces for the head and arms) typically aimed at girls (the choices are however not gender-dependent (many schools, in fact, give ''maghātam'' and ''pajlāka'' to everyone, or a ''pajlāka'' instead of a ''dhūbas'' for boys too), as usually the parents and pupils decide together what to take — the important thing is that no other kind of outer clothing is allowed). As in most buildings, street shoes must be changed at the entrance; everyone is usually required to wear either a pair of ''junioe'' slippers or the more rustic straw rope ''varṇaigi'' sandals, even in those areas where going barefoot outside is common. There are less strict rules on hairstyles, and they're allowed as long as they are not of Western Calemerian style. Most pupils, however, sport a traditional ''pomai'' chignon. Monastic schools have different rules, as the clothing is usually the same as monks.
