Easy Access to K–12 Social Studies and Civics Resources

Finding the right classroom resources shouldn’t feel harder than teaching itself. Between lesson planning, meetings, emails, and everything else on an educator’s plate, searching for the right social studies curriculum should be simple, not time-consuming.

That idea is exactly what inspired the launch of the new Gibbs Smith Education online store experience. We wanted to create a space that feels simple, fast, and intuitive for homeschool teachers, educators, curriculum leaders, and districts looking for high-quality K–12 social studies resources.

From the moment you land on the site, you’ll notice a clean design and smooth navigation built to help you get where you need to go without the extra clicks. Whether you already know what you’re looking for or just want to explore, the Resources tab makes it easy to browse collections, discover new materials, and find curriculum that fits your classroom needs.

From Diversity Studies and State History to Civics, Geography, US History, and World History, our collections are designed to support meaningful learning across every grade level. We’ve also made it simple to explore trusted partner content, including civics education resources from the Center for Civic Education, helping educators bring conversations around government, citizenship, and civic responsibility into the classroom.

Beyond student editions, many programs also include supplemental student activities designed to reinforce learning and create engaging classroom experiences. You’ll also find select resources available in Spanish and French, helping support multilingual learning opportunities for schools, districts, and families.

Need more information before making a decision? Our website makes it easy to explore who we are, browse available resources, and find curriculum designed to support educators and students alike. For direct online orders of up to 10 products, the ordering process is simple and streamlined, making it easy to get the materials you need in just a few clicks.

At the heart of it all is the same mission that drives everything we do at Gibbs Smith Education: creating bold, engaging, and standards-aligned social studies curriculum that helps bring learning to life in the classroom.

We’re excited about this new chapter and even more excited for educators to experience it. Take a few minutes to explore shop.gibbssmitheducation.com and see what’s new.
