Academics

The NDES curriculum adheres to state standards in all subjects, including the core areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. We also offer instruction in art, music, and physical education. For more information about state standards and assessments, please enjoy the resources on this page.

Our Curriculum

North Decatur Elementary offers a comprehensive curriculum. Our curriculum includes “the basics,” enhanced with modern audio-visual equipment and computer-assisted instruction. We strive to implement the best of “what is new” while holding on to the best of the “tried and true.” 

Printed curriculum is available for many subjects and is available for parents to view in the office. We evaluate and revise the curriculum for each subject as part of the textbook adoption process. We encourage any parent who has an interest in serving on a curriculum team to contact our school principal.

In addition to our regular curriculum, our students receive unique learning experiences through a variety of extracurricular opportunities. Please visit our Activities page to learn more about getting your child involved in NDES athletics, clubs, and organizations.
