For independent magnetic moments constrained to μz​=±μ, the one-site partition function is 2cosh[μμ0​H/(kB​T)]. The weak-field magnetization is M=μ0​nμ2H/(kB​T), so the SI magnetic susceptibility obeys χ=C/T with C=μ0​nμ2/kB​. If μ=gSμB​, this involves S2, not the unrestricted-spin factor S(S+1)/3. The constraint on allowed moment orientations must be specified before using a Curie law coefficient.
