The Japanese education system teaches children characters in the following order:

There is no set list of grades for how to teach the jouyou kanji of junior high school or high school. The grades for elementary school can be found in kanji learning books or in kanji dictionaries. They may also be found in Kanjidic, under the labels G1, G2, G3, etc.
