An Idea ...that for the sake of academic excellence, greater fairness, and higher literacy, elementary and middle schools need a solid, specific, shared core curriculum in order to help children establish strong foundations of knowledge, grade by grade.

A Guide to Specific, Shared Content . . .as outlined in the Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence and Core Knowledge Sequence (K–8) and other supporting Core Knowledge resources, including the "What Your Kindergartner – Sixth Grader Needs To Know" book series.

A School Reform Movement . . .taking shape in hundreds of schools, where educators have committed themselves to teaching important skills and the Core Knowledge content they share within grade levels, across districts, and with other Core Knowledge schools across the country.
