About the Louisiana Social Studies Curriculum
How Louisiana Student Standards Work
Louisiana sets its own social studies standards, organizing content by strand across civics, economics, geography, and history from Kindergarten onward.
How Louisiana Differs
Louisiana's sequence introduces Louisiana state history in 4th grade, a year earlier than many states place local history, before moving to US and world history.
How Louisiana Social Studies Progresses
Students move from community and map skills in early grades through US history in middle school, then into dedicated high school courses in civics, economics, geography, and history.
How Louisiana Assesses Social Studies
Louisiana measures social studies through LEAP 2025 assessments, with high school end-of-course exams for civics and US history supporting graduation requirements.
