Parent AKS Brochure

Gwinnett's curriculum for grades K-12 is called the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) and is aligned to the state adopted Georgia Performance Standards of Excellence in Language Arts, Mathematics, and literacy standards for Science and Social Studies. The Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) are in place for other content areas. Gwinnett's AKS is a rigorous curriculum that prepares students for college and 21st century careers in a globally competitive future.

The AKS for each grade level spells out the essential concepts students are expected to know and skills they should acquire in that grade or subject. The AKS offers a solid base on which teachers build rich learning experiences. Teachers use curriculum guides, technology, and instructional resources to teach the AKS and to make sure every student is learning to his or her potential. 

The Parent AKS Brochure provides an overview of each Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum area for your student, as well as information about special programs, promotion requirements, and grade level assessments.
