The Diocese of Orlando adheres to the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools through which we are accredited (link: The Standards (catholicschoolstandards.org).  The Diocese follows the Florida state curriculum standards for all core content areas along with these uniquely Catholic standards. For a full review of the Florida Standards for Social Studies, you may go to Next Generation Sunshine State Standards Social Studies 2021 (fldoe.org)   

Integrated throughout all content instruction and explicitly taught as a core content area are the teachings of the Catholic Faith, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Critical Race Theory is not included in any of those documents and is not part of the instructional standards taught in our schools.
