## Step by step

### 1. Open Curriculum

Open Curriculum from the menu. A school can teach more than one curriculum, and every class follows one of them.

*Step 1: Open Curriculum*

### 2. The templates

Press Add a curriculum. There are seven to start from: Nigerian, British, American, International Baccalaureate, Kenyan, Ghanaian and Montessori, or you can build your own.

### 3. Nigerian

Choose Nigerian. You see its levels, from Nursery to S S 3, and its grading scale, the WAEC grades from A 1 to F 9.

*Step 3: Nigerian*

### 4. Your classes

Because this school already has classes, Link my existing classes is chosen for you. S S S 1 and S S 1 are read as the same year, and every arm of a class, like J S S 1 A and 1 B, is linked too. Nothing new is created.

### 7. Grading

On the right is how classes on this curriculum are graded. Report cards use this scale instead of the school-wide one. Edit a grade or its starting mark, then save.

*Step 7: Grading*

### 8. Positions

Show class positions is on, because Nigerian schools rank their pupils: first, second, third. A curriculum that does not rank, like the Kenyan one, starts with it off, and then no position appears anywhere on its report cards.

### 9. Classes tab

The Classes tab lists every class and the curriculum and level it follows. Change one here, or add a level’s subjects to a class with one press.
