SC State Curriculum Standards

It’s no longer a secret...

These guides share important information about the South Carolina Curriculum Standards. These standards outline state requirements for your child’s learning program and what students across the state should be able to do in certain subjects.

A good educational system provides many tools that help children learn. Curriculum standards are useful for making sure:

  • teachers know what is to be taught;

  • children know what is to be learned; and

  • parents and the public can determine how well the concepts are being learned.

The following pdf files provide information about the South Carolina Curriculum Standards for mathematics, English language arts, science and social studies for each middle grade level.
