CURRICULUM GUIDE

About the New Jersey Social Studies Curriculum

How NJSLS Works

New Jersey sets its own social studies standards through the NJSLS, organizing expectations by grade band across civics, economics, geography, and history.

How New Jersey Differs

New Jersey requires four distinct high school courses - Civics and Government, Economics, Geography, and History - rather than a single combined course.

How New Jersey Social Studies Progresses

Students move from community and family concepts in the early grades through world and US history in middle school, then into four named high school courses.

How New Jersey Assesses Social Studies

New Jersey state assessments measure social studies knowledge, with high school courses building toward NJ graduation requirements and college readiness.
