GCPS Curriculum

In support of the GCPS mission statement, our school district uses the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum. The AKS for each grade level outlines the essential learning points students are expected to know and apply within that particular grade or subject area.


How Does the AKS Impact Gwinnett County Student Teachers?

  • Offers a solid base from day one on which teachers build rich curricular experiences.
  • Recommends curriculum guides, textbooks, technology, and other materials to ensure each student is learning to his or her potential.
  • Makes it easy for teachers to tailor classroom lessons to meet student’s individual needs.
