CURRICULUM GUIDE
About the Georgia Social Studies Curriculum
How Georgia's K-12 Standards Work
Georgia sets its own social studies standards, organized by strand and grade band, covering civics, economics, geography, and history from Kindergarten onward.
How Georgia Differs
Georgia separates its senior social studies sequence into four standalone courses - Civics and Government, Economics, Geography, and History - rather than combining them.
How Georgia Social Studies Progresses
Students move from community and citizenship in early grades through world and Georgia history in middle school, then into the four distinct high school courses.
How Georgia Assesses Social Studies
Georgia uses the Georgia Milestones Assessment System at tested grade levels, with end-of-course exams in high school supporting college readiness.
