CURRICULUM GUIDE

About the Colorado Social Studies Curriculum

How Colorado Academic Standards Works

Colorado sets its own social studies standards through the CAS, organized around civics, economics, geography, and history from Kindergarten onward.

How Colorado Differs

Colorado separates high school social studies into four distinct courses - Civics and Government, Economics, Geography, and History - rather than combined survey courses.

How Colorado Social Studies Progresses

Students move from community and local geography in early grades through US and world history in middle school, then into the four named high school courses.

How Colorado Assesses Social Studies

CMAS tests social studies in 4th and 7th grade, measuring progress on the Colorado Academic Standards before students enter the high school course sequence.
