We are proud to provide a solid academic foundation with high expectations for all of our elementary students. In addition to core curriculum from the Diocese of Saginaw, we provide opportunities for children to develop their gifts and talents through arts and humanities courses, or what we refer to as "specials", that include art, music or band, physical education, Spanish, STEM and media. Each special is regularly scheduled 1-2 times per week in our specials classrooms, library and STEM Lab.

Curriculum Programs we use:
Open Court Reading addresses the key areas of Reading. Students begin instruction in as early as Pre-Kindergarten, so they understand not just how to read and write, but the meaning and purpose of what they are learning, including phonemic awareness, systematic and explicit phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. 

enVisionmath is a comprehensive mathematics curriculum for that offers the flexibility of print, digital, or blended instruction. enVision provides the focus, coherence, and rigor of the Common Core State Standards while providing project-based learning, visual learning strategies, and extensive customization options to empower every teacher and student.

At every grade level, our teachers are able to provide opportunities for differentiated learning to meet the needs of individual students. This may be through small group work or one-on-one attention and supplemental technology programs.

At Nouvel, we also have the benefit of additional support staff to support reading and math instruction.

Curriculum details and enrichment opportunities through our specials are outlined in greater detail on each of the grade level pages and weekly specials (art, music/band, physical education, Spanish and STEM/media) pages.
