Standards of Learning
The Standards of Learning (SOL) for Virginia Public Schools describe the commonwealth's expectations for student learning and achievement in grades K-12 in English, mathematics, science, history/social science, technology, the fine arts, foreign language, health and physical education and driver education.
In the four core areas of English, mathematics, science and history/social science, a curriculum framework also is provided that details the specific knowledge and skills students must possess to meet the standards for these subjects.
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which reauthorized the nation’s longstanding Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), requires states to set Annual Measurable Objectives for increasing student achievement to ensure that all children have an opportunity to obtain a high-quality education.
