It’s almost Constitution Day, and the Center for Civic Education has the high-quality instructional materials you need to engage your classroom. Visit our Constitution Day page to get everything from our video series, The Constitution EXPLAINED, to deeper curricula, like our We the People resources, and free lessons for every age.

What Is Constitution Day?

September 17 is recognized in the United States as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. On this day, we commemorate the creation and signing of the supreme law of the land and celebrate the privileges and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship, be it for native-born or naturalized citizens.

Federal law requires that all schools receiving federal funds hold an educational program for their students on September 17 of each year.

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
