[[Waldorf schools]] traditionally employ a mixed approach. Certain academic subjects are taught in intensive three to five week blocks known as ''[[main lesson]] blocks'', while other subjects are taught in regularly meeting skills classes.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Trostli|first=Robert|title=Main lesson block teaching in the Waldorf School|journal=Research Bulletin of the Research Institute for Waldorf Education|date=January 2001|volume=6|issue=1|url=http://www.waldorflibrary.org/Journal_Articles/RB6107.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071105011709/http://www.waldorflibrary.org/Journal_Articles/RB6107.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2007-11-05}}</ref>

Within the context of post K-12 establishments, such as in [[medical school]] or other intensive university program, a '''block schedule''' may mean taking one class at a time, all day, every day, until all of the material is covered. A normal university course might then be completed in three or four weeks of focused effort on a single topic. This is sometimes called "One Course At A Time" ("OCAAT") (see [[Colorado College]] and [[Cornell College]]). When used as a supplement change instead of the normal schedule, this approach is sometimes called a ''mini-mester''.
