The Curriculum module is the foundation of Elimu Bora. It defines how your school is organized academically, which in turn powers attendance registers, timetables, and automated report cards.

Grade Levels

Define the different grades or forms in your school.

Streams (Classes)

Set up individual class sections within each grade.

Subjects

Create subjects and assign them to specific grades and teachers.

Grading Scales

Set up the standards for scores and performance levels.

​
Grade Levels

Grade Levels represent the academic stages in your school (e.g., PP1, Grade 4, Form 1). They act as the primary container for students and subjects.
1

Access Grade Levels

Navigate to Settings and select Grade Levels within the Academic Structure cluster.
2

Create a Grade

Click New Grade Level. Enter the name and assign a display order. The order determines how grades are sorted in reports and menus.
3

Configure Curriculum Type

Specify whether the grade follows the CBC (Competency-Based Curriculum) or the 8-4-4 system. This affects how assessments and report cards are generated for this grade.
Grade Levels can be configured with specific “Age Ranges” to help flag students who might be in a grade that doesn’t match their age profile.

​
Streams

Streams (or classes) are sections within a Grade Level (e.g., Grade 6 Red, Grade 6 Blue).
1

Add a Stream

Go to Streams and click New Stream.
2

Link to Grade

Select the parent Grade Level and provide a name for the stream.
3

Assign Class Teacher

Select a staff member as the Class Teacher. This person will have primary responsibility for marking daily registers and overseeing the students in this stream.

​
Subjects

Subjects define what is taught at each level. They are linked to grade levels and assigned to specific teachers.
  1. Navigate to Subjects and click New Subject.
  2. Enter the subject name and a short code (e.g., “Mathematics” / “MAT”).
  3. Select all the Grade Levels where this subject is taught.

​
Grading Scales

Grading Scales translate numeric scores into grades (A, B, C) or performance descriptors (Exceeding, Meeting, Approaching).
1

Define Scale Type

Create a new scale and choose between Numeric (8-4-4) or Descriptor (CBC).
2

Add Grade Bands

Add the ranges for each grade. For example:
  • 80% - 100%: A (Excellent)
  • 70% - 79%: B (Very Good)
3

Link to Subjects

Apply the scale to specific subjects or entire grade levels. You can have a default school scale and specialized scales for specific subjects (e.g., a different scale for Music or P.E.).

FAQs & Troubleshooting

Changing the curriculum type (e.g., from 8-4-4 to CBC) while assessments are active is not recommended as it will invalidate existing grade reports. Contact support if you need to perform a migration.
Ensure the subject has been correctly linked to the relevant Grade Level in the Subject settings.
A Grade is the academic level (e.g., Grade 1), while a Stream is the specific group of students in that grade (e.g., Grade 1 West). Subjects are linked to Grades, but Teachers are assigned to Streams.
