The Wikia Editor wrote: We're never given the standard age of when students start attending. We do know that Kakashi started at age 4 and graduated at age 5. Yamato graduated at age 6 and Itachi at age 7. It's not unreasonable to assume that Boruto and the others started attending at age 6 and graduated at age 12. It seems to me the Academy is pretty flexible in how it handles students, with no known hard start or end dates. Although it seems that the modern Academy is a whole lot more efficient and useful than some of the questionable subjects we know from the Naruto series (like flower picking).
