6th Grade Social Studies

Sixth grade social studies can spark big conversations about identity, geography, and how societies work. Our 6th Grade Social Studies collection curates vetted, secular resources to help homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers teach history, geography, civics, and culture to learners around ages 11–12. You’ll find structured curricula, map-based programs, project-based units, and tutors who guide discussion and critical thinking. Each resource is reviewed for historical accuracy, inclusive perspectives, and developmental fit so students can move beyond memorizing facts into understanding systems and stories. Use the filters to browse by focus area (ancient history, world history, U.S. history, civics, or geography), format (books, unit studies, online courses, or hands-on projects), and learning needs such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism, giftedness, or 2e. Many families mix a core program with interest-led side trips inspired by this collection. If you’re not sure where to start with sixth grade social studies, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can help you choose resources that match your child’s curiosity and your family’s approach.
