What does Cuvilly offer?

Academics

All Cuvilly students take general, college preparatory, and/or honors and AP classes. Students have modifications, adaptations and instructional support. All students are evaluated on the level of services needed by the Cuvilly team which is made up of the Director of Cuvilly, an intervention specialist, guidance counselors and teachers.

Social

Cuvilly encourages students to get involved in social activities. The program offers a unique club called Cuvilly Community Club (CCC) . This club is designed to have students plan activities in a safe environment. We have game night, movie night, an ice cream social, service projects, and bowling. Students may bring friends to these events and parents are always welcome.

Postsecondary

Most Cuvilly students are concerned about college. We conduct career interest surveys and work with students so when they are ready to continue their education beyond CJ, they are prepared. We explore questions such as: How do you seek help from others while at college? How do you deal with a boss? What do you need in order to live independently?

Courses

A variety of classes are offered and students take general, college preparatory and/or honors classes in most subject areas. If a student has difficulty with a foreign language, they can take American Sign Language to fulfill the language requirement. Several different levels of math are offered, as well as print media for seniors, and study skills/life skills courses.

Grading

Cuvilly offers two levels of grading: traditional grades for students who need minor adjustments; and a pass\fail option for students who require major adjustments.
