Curriculum

Curriculum in Jeffco

Jeffco Public Schools’ curriculum and academic programs provide a quality education that prepares students for a successful future.

The hope is that transparency in curriculum resources will build community understanding of the high expectations of the Colorado Academic Standards, which Jeffco students are expected to meet, as outlined in the units of study for each content area.

Jeffco curriculum will be updated as the Colorado Department of Education reviews and approves state standards.

Additionally, releasing the curriculum benefits families of Jeffco students, homeschool families, higher education staff and students, and other school districts throughout Colorado.
