Shade (and Shelter as I personally headcannon the relating Signal-level school to be called) are the shelter from the storm/harsh weather. I'm 100% sure Shade means "blocking of sunlight", not "shelter from harsh weather". "Shelter" has more in common with Sanctum and Haven, meaning-wise.

Shade was the Vacuo academy, right? It looks like a pretty hot place, the kind of place where the sun may be as dangerous as the Grimm. Would make sense to name the academies after things that would be related to either blocking sunlight or shadows in general.
