CURRICULUM GUIDE

About the District of Columbia K-12 curriculum

District of Columbia curriculum overview

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) sets DC academic standards covering math, Language Arts, science, and social studies for all grade levels.

Standards bodies in the District of Columbia

OSSE governs math, Language Arts, science, and social studies standards. The primary assessment for math and Language Arts is DC CAPE, administered across multiple grade levels.

Grade levels & progression

DC schools follow a K-12 structure. DC CAPE assessments are administered in selected grades to measure student progress against the District of Columbia academic standards.

Compared to other states

There is no single national curriculum in the US. The District of Columbia sets its own academic standards through OSSE, giving DC schools a locally governed framework distinct from any individual state.
