About the Indiana Social Studies Curriculum

How Indiana Academic Standards Works

Indiana sets its own social studies standards through the Indiana Academic Standards, organized by strand - history, geography, civics, and economics - with specific expectations for each grade level from Kindergarten through the high school courses.

How Indiana Differs

Indiana structures high school social studies into four distinct courses - Civics and Government, Economics, Geography, and History - rather than folding those topics into a single year, giving each discipline a full semester or year of dedicated instruction.

How Indiana Social Studies Progresses

The sequence builds from community and local history in the early grades through world regions and U.S. history in middle school, then into the four named high school courses where civics, economics, geography, and history each receive focused treatment.

How Indiana Assesses Social Studies

Indiana uses ILEARN for state testing, with social studies assessed at selected grade levels. High school students may sit end-of-course assessments, and results factor into college readiness alongside course performance across the senior sequence.
