The grading system uses the grades A, B, C, and D as passing grades and F as failing. B and D work as filling grades, for when a student has not reached all objectives for C or A but has reached most of them. If the student cannot be graded, e.g. due to extensive truancy, the student will receive a dash instead of an F, though a dash is not considered a grade. If a student is on the verge of receiving an F in a certain subject or course, the teacher responsible for that subject will notify the student and the student's parents. If a student is given an F, they will receive a written review of how to improve themselves. Grade failure is rare, but it does happen and can result in voluntary or mandatory repeat year. | The grading system uses the grades A, B, C, and D as passing grades and F as failing.

Many schools also offer voluntary study groups for the purpose of learning other languages. At which stage students begin learning a foreign language differs from state to state and is tailored to the cultural and socio-economical dynamics of each state. In some states, foreign language education starts in primary school. For example, in Acara and [[Ferara]] which border the Caphirian province of [[Ranaella]], Latin starts in the third year of elementary school. Verona starts with English, Pelaxian, or Latin in the first year but can start as early as APAS1. | ||
