From late August to June, this is the period when the school year runs, is there any better and shorter way to express this than to say "school year"?
For example, a company that wants to say that they work in synchrony with the period from August to June and then don't take up or do work from mid-June to mid-August might not want to say something like,
We take projects throughout the school year
because the expression school is out of context and sounds quite bad.
