Curriculum Manager is the iSAMS module for course, grading, and GPA templates.

Gradebooks, GPA, and transcripts generate automatically each year, and your academic history stays with the school, year after year.

Your one source of academic truth

Use Curriculum Manager to set the foundation for your class, sets, courses, certification, and assessment data. This module was created to enable you to manage the structure and content of your school’s curriculum and set key templates for courses, sets, and certifications, empowering streamlined reporting and management of assessment data.

Curriculum Manager is the foundation Gradebooks builds on

Course, class, and grading templates set up in Curriculum Manager feed directly into Gradebooks. Assessment columns, grading structures, and rollover between years follow the templates you’ve already built, so configuring Gradebooks for a new academic year takes minutes rather than weeks. Teachers can still add their own assessment columns, like exams, on top of what’s already there.

Key Features

Robust Gradebooks synchronisation

Curriculum Manager data bolsters your Gradebooks data to ensure ease-of-use and efficient transfer of key data for assessments, including your tailored course, class, set, and certification configurations.

Historic grades

Harness both present and historic grade data, including import from your previous SIS, and access in both Curriculum Manager and Gradebooks for easy and continuous transcript reporting.

Multicurricular schools

LMS integration

Seamless integration with many LMS platforms, including synchronisation of Gradebooks and Enrolment data.

What Curriculum Manager does for your school

Build once, ready every year after

Set up your grading structure, course, and GPA templates once. When you import next year’s class sets, gradebooks for every subject and year group generate automatically, already configured, and waiting for teachers on day one.

 

See how performance changes, year on year

Previous years’ classes, enrolments, and grades stay in the system, easy to reference year after year. Pull up several years of the same subject or year group side by side, and use that record for board reports, inspections, or accreditation evidence.

GPA that keeps up with every curriculum

Curriculum Manager calculates weighted, unweighted, and mixed-curriculum GPA, including IB and US programmes together, directly from finalised grade data. Transcripts generate in US university format and update each time GPA is recalculated.

Run several curricula without compromise

Configure grading structures, GPA parameters, and transcript formats by curriculum, year group, or campus. Whether your school runs one curriculum or six across a group of schools, each one keeps its own structure.

Gradebook templates

Build once, ready every year after

Set up your grading structure, course, and GPA templates once. When you import next year’s class sets, gradebooks for every subject and year group generate automatically, already configured, and waiting for teachers on day one.

Frequently asked questions

What is Curriculum Manager?

Curriculum Manager is the iSAMS module that stores your school's course, class, grading, and GPA configuration, including grade translation, GPA levels, and weighting. It's the structure that Gradebooks, GPA calculations, and transcript reporting are built on, and it keeps a running archive of every academic year rather than replacing it.

Does Curriculum Manager replace Gradebooks?

No. Curriculum Manager and Gradebooks work together: Curriculum Manager stores the templates and structure, and Gradebooks is where teachers record and manage assessment data day to day. Templates built in Curriculum Manager generate the gradebooks teachers use.

Can Curriculum Manager support more than one curriculum at the same time?

Yes. Curriculum Manager supports multiple curricula running at the same time within the same platform, including Common Core, AP, NGSS, IB, IGCSE, International A-Level, IPC/IMYC, and the Australian curriculum, with grading structures and GPA parameters configured by curriculum, year group, or campus. We're not limited to this list – the platform's parameters generally translate to most other international curricula too, so get in touch if yours isn't listed and we'll talk through your requirements.

Does Curriculum Manager work with our existing timetabling software?

Curriculum Manager builds on class and set data imported through Teaching Manager, which accepts timetable imports from tools including Nova-T, TimeTabler, GP-Untis, ASC Timetable, and Excel.

How does Curriculum Manager calculate GPA?

GPA calculates directly from finalised gradebook data and supports weighted, unweighted, and mixed-curriculum methods, including students studying IB and US programmes at the same time. Transcripts generate in US university format and update each time GPA is run, so schools stay in control of exactly when transcripts reflect the latest grades.

What happens to our data at the end of each academic year?

Classes, enrolments, and grades archive automatically at rollover, so previous years stay alongside the current one. That gives academic leaders a genuine year-on-year record for reporting, inspection, and accreditation purposes.
