Illinois Learning Standards
The Illinois Learning Standards (ILS) establish expectations for what all students should know and be able to do in each subject at each grade. The standards emphasize depth over breadth, building upon key concepts as students advance. The standards promote student-driven learning and the application of knowledge to real-world situations to help students develop deep conceptual understanding. Intentionally rigorous, the Illinois Learning Standards prepare students for the challenges of college and career. Below you can view the Illinois Learning Standards in their entirety by each grade level.
