School software for Nova Scotia schools
Choose Nova Scotia when you create your school, and Onflows sets up Kindergarten to Grade 12, 2 terms and the board's grading before you type anything.

We have not yet checked this setup against the board's own published scheme. It is a sensible default: check the grading and subjects in your first week and change what does not match.

Grading, the way Nova Scotia grades
The academic year runs September to June. Each stage gets its own scale, and marks entered once become the gradebook, the progress card and the parent's screen.
| Stage | Scale | Grades | Pass mark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elementary | Provincial percentageA default to check | A, B, C, D, F | 50% |
| Secondary | Provincial percentageA default to check | A, B, C, D, F | 50% |
The year's assessments, already planned
These arrive with their weights, so the term result adds up without a spreadsheet beside it. This plan is a common pattern rather than the board's prescribed one; change it to match yours.
| Term | Assessment | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Semester 1 | Classwork | 25% |
| Semester 1 | Final Exam | 25% |
| Semester 2 | Classwork | 25% |
| Semester 2 | Final Exam | 25% |
Where this comes from
This setup has not yet been checked against Nova Scotia's published scheme. The subject list is a sensible default rather than the board's prescribed set. Onflows is not affiliated with or endorsed by the board.
A school of up to 300 students runs the whole year free, with no time limit.
