Saturday School?

While I was looking at the Governor's School of North Carolina (a junior/senior school that is otherwise very similar to the kind of school I want, including that it's a boarding school), I started wondering if I should have a half day of school on Saturdays. I'm already considering having a half day on Fridays, like I had in my high school, with presentations during the second half. With a half day on Saturdays also, each class would meet three times each week (full period on MW or TTh and a half period on F or S), and something like volunteer activities could be on Saturdays.

But then comes the question, why don't I just combine the half days on Friday and Saturday into a full day Friday? I'd really like to have a half day on Fridays: it was a treat for staying so late in the day and working so hard the beginning of the week. Also, I don't want to make teachers teach on Saturdays because I want the best teachers, and I want to also reward them for being so good.

In conclusion, I do not think I want to have school on Saturdays, but it is something to keep in mind. I think the best way to deal with this is to not have Saturday school but to have kids (at the boarding school) come do volunteer activities every Saturday morning (later than school starts) or afternoon for a few hours.

I got the idea by looking at these two schedules:
