Common Core State Standards Documents

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are a set of learning goals for grades K-12 focusing on college and career readiness that have been adopted in 46 states and over 100 Catholic dioceses across the country. They were written to ensure that American students have the opportunity to reach the same levels of academic performance as students in the highest performing countries in the world. Learn more about Common Core Standards and their implementation in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
