Social Studies Standards

The California Department of Education has outlined standards for each grade. It lists the social studies topics grades K through eight and 10 through 12. History has been made an elective for the ninth grade, so there is no outline for grade nine.

Choose your student’s grade or class from the pull-down menu to read the social studies standards for this year of school. Being aware of these standards will help you know more about what to expect from this year. It will also give you a gauge of the general abilities of children at each level.
