There is no specific course of study guidelines for eighth-grade social studies. A homeschool family's curriculum choices or personal preferences are usually the determining factors. An eighth-grader following a classical homeschooling style will likely study modern history.
Other standard topics for eighth-grade social studies include:
- explorers and their discoveries
- the growth and development of the United States
- colonial life
- the U. S. Constitution and Bill of Rights
- the American Civil War and Reconstruction.
