CURRICULUM GUIDE

About the Illinois K-12 curriculum

Illinois curriculum overview

The Illinois State Board of Education sets the Illinois Learning Standards, which organize K-12 content by subject and grade band across all public schools.

Standards bodies in Illinois

The Illinois State Board of Education governs math, Language Arts, science, and social studies standards; student learning is measured through the IAR and Illinois Science Assessment.

Grade levels & progression

Illinois groups K-12 into elementary, middle, and high school bands; IAR testing occurs in grades 3 through 8, and the Illinois Science Assessment runs in grades 5, 8, and 11.

Compared to other states

There is no single national K-12 curriculum in the US; Illinois distinguishes itself through the IAR assessment and its own Learning Standards for science alongside a separate ISA.
