CURRICULUM GUIDE
About the Mississippi Social Studies Curriculum
How Mississippi's Standards Work
Mississippi sets its own social studies sequence through the College- and Career-Ready Standards, organized by strand and grade level from Kindergarten onward.
How Mississippi Differs
Mississippi places a dedicated Civics and Government course at the high school level, making civic literacy a standalone graduation requirement rather than embedding it in a combined course.
How Mississippi Social Studies Progresses
Students move from community and geography basics in elementary school through world and US history in middle school, then into named high school courses including Economics and Geography.
How Mississippi Assesses Social Studies
Mississippi uses the MAAP assessment for tested grades, with high school end-of-course exams providing additional checkpoints tied to graduation requirements.
