A student’s Standing Year and Term reflects their academic progress based on completed credits—not their actual grade level. For example, a 3rd-year college student may hold a 4th Year, Term 1 standing if enough credits have been satisfied. This same concept applies across all levels in Grado.
Â
To ensure accurate academic tracking and proper fulfillment of curriculum requirements, the following term structures and settings must be applied consistently.
| School Level | Student Standing Term | Curriculum Requirement Term |
| Grade School (Gr. 1-6) | Yearlong | Yearlong |
| Junior High (Gr. 7-10) | Yearlong | Yearlong |
| Senior High (Gr. 11-12) | Semestral (1st / 2nd) | Semestral (1st / 2nd) |
| School Level | Class & Section Term |
| Grade School (Gr. 1-6) | Yearlong |
| Junior High (Gr. 7-10) | Semestral (1st / 2nd) |
| Senior High (Gr. 11-12) | Semestral (1st / 2nd) |
| Clubs (Gr. 1-12) | Semestral (1st / 2nd) |
Â
🔸 Note: Although Junior High curriculum and academic standing are yearlong, Grado allows semestral scheduling for classes and sections. When setting these up, you must specify Term 1 or Term 2 (1st / 2nd semester).
Grade item counts refer to the number of grading components (e.g., Midterm, Term Mark) per subject, per term. Set the values as follows:
Lower and Middle School Subjects (Grades 1-10):
Set 4 grade items per academic year:
grade items 1 & 2 = Midterm (MT) and Term Mark (TM) for Term 1
grade items 3 & 4 = Midterm (MT) and Term Mark (TM) for Term 2
Junior and Senior High School Subjects (Grades 7-12):
Set 2 grade items per semester:
grade items 1 & 2 = Midterm (MT) and Term Mark (TM) for the current semester
Clubs (Grades 1-12):
Set 2 grade items (applies to both Lower and Middle School Clubs)
