I also don't like semester for the same reason. Trimester is a technically correct term, but at least in the US it's not used much so it does sound awkward to me. That leaves "Term"... and actually many schools in the US are on a Quarter system where there are only three quarters in a regular school year (and summer break/school counts as the fourth quarter). But maybe "Term" is still the best pick?
