Curriculum should do more than cover content. It should shape understanding, competence, character, and possibility.
From early years through leadership programs — Magic Years designs curricula that teachers can teach, students can experience, and institutions can evaluate.
We design curricula that teachers can teach, students can experience, and institutions can evaluate.
Eighteen ways we build and improve curriculum.
Engagements are scoped to your context. Most partnerships combine three to five of the services below.
Curriculum Audits
An honest, evidence-based read on whether your written, taught, and assessed curriculum actually agree with each other.
Full Curriculum Design
End-to-end curriculum design from philosophy and graduate profile through unit-by-unit build, teacher guides, and pilot.
Curriculum Revision
Targeted revision of existing programs that no longer match your standards, students, or ambition.
Scope and Sequence
A coherent progression across grades, subjects, and years — with no orphan skills or accidental gaps.
Unit Design
Backward-designed units that make big ideas teachable and assessable.
Lesson Frameworks
Consistent, teacher-friendly lesson structures that respect craft and cognitive load.
Standards Alignment
Alignment to national, IB, Cambridge, CBSE, ACARA, CCSS, or bespoke frameworks — without turning curriculum into a checklist.
Assessment Design
Formative and summative assessments aligned to what actually matters in your curriculum.
Rubric Development
Rubrics that make expectations visible for students, teachers, and parents.
Early Childhood Curriculum
Play-based, developmentally grounded programs for the earliest learners.
Character and Values Curriculum
Explicit programs for the qualities and values a school claims to grow.
Leadership Curriculum
Student leadership pathways from primary through senior years.

How students think, behave, and protect themselves online.
