Welcome to the Nevada City School District's Curriculum and Instruction home page! 

The Nevada City School District is committed to educating the whole child. The curriculum and instruction are designed to assist each child to develop intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, ethically, and aesthetically.  We support all students as they become active, engaged learners.  Standards, curriculum, and assessment shape the learning experience for students in our district. The district has adopted the Common Core Standards in English Language Arts and Math in addition to the California Content standards in all other curricular areas. The Nevada City School District teachers provide a high-quality, standards-based, rigorous, and relevant curriculum for all students. Each student is guaranteed access to the grade level core academic instruction in English/Language Arts and Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Science, as well as Physical Education. All staff members assess their students using state standards as the benchmark for grade-level expectations.
