Abstract: The school curriculum plays a fundamental role in the civic education of students, directly influencing their social competencies and values. Through formal education, the curriculum contributes to the development of critical, reflective, and participatory skills necessary for conscious societal engagement. Civic education involves not only theoretical knowledge but also the construction of practices and attitudes that promote democratic coexistence and respect for diversity. Thus, education focused on citizenship must consider cultural, ethical, and political aspects, promoting active student engagement. The general objective of this article is to analyze how the school curriculum contributes to the civic education of students. The specific objectives are: (1) to identify pedagogical practices in the curriculum that foster citizenship; (2) to verify the presence of content that encourages critical thinking and social participation; (3) to evaluate the importance of interdisciplinarity in building civic education. The research problem that guides this study is: How does the school curriculum contribute to the civic education of students? The methodology used was bibliographic, based on a literature review of works addressing the relationship between the school curriculum and citizenship. The results indicate that a curriculum integrating democratic principles, social values, and practices of mutual respect fosters the development of critical and participatory citizens. The discussion reinforces the need for an interdisciplinary approach that embraces diversity and the multiple realities of students. It is concluded that the school curriculum should be constantly reviewed and adapted to meet social demands and shape individuals capable of acting ethically and responsibly in society, fully exercising their rights and duties as citizens.
