Curriculum Guides

Explore our grade-by-grade curriculum overviews to learn what students study and how learning progresses throughout the year in Somerville Public Schools. These downloadable PDFs provide families with a clear snapshot of key subjects, major units of study, and the overall flow of instruction at each grade level.

Academic standards ensure all students are prepared for success in the next grade, college, and careers. They provide a clear foundation for families and teachers to work together to support student learning. Teachers tailor instruction to the standards while meeting individual student needs, offering additional support or deeper challenges as appropriate.

Our curriculum is grounded in the Common Core Standards, the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks, and the research-based instructional approaches adopted by the district. Together, these resources are designed to support high-quality, engaging learning experiences for every student from Kindergarten through Grade 12.
