Welcome to the International Curriculum Association
Working with you to improve learning, unlock potential and champion quality.
The International Curriculum Association (ICA) is a global community of passionate educators, across 1,000 schools in more than 90 countries, who believe in the power of education to transform lives. Together we aim to inspire, nurture, and equip the changemakers and leaders of tomorrow.
Created by teachers, for teachers, our curricula ensure that learning is engaging, relevant and impactful. The ICA gives learners access to a curriculum that not only meets international standards but also inspires curiosity, fosters creativity, and cultivates critical thinking.
Joining the International Curriculum Association opens doors to a global network of educators committed to excellence in teaching and learning:
Enhanced teaching focus and support
You may have brilliant teachers, but are they trained curriculum designers?
Our dynamic and rigorous curriculum materials mean that you are investing in teachers to give them the time to focus on the “how” of teaching, rather than the “what”. We know that schools are increasingly looking to implement hybrid curricula, our Model for Improving Learning is not just a framework for delivery, but provides content for less experienced teachers, giving them room to develop.
Our Model for Improving Learning encompasses a suite of dynamic and rigorous curriculum materials, which foster exceptional learning experiences, alongside impactful professional development resources, and a supportive and empowering Accreditation pathway.
Our portfolio of services can be delivered in isolation, or as a package, and all support the development of key transformative literacies within learners around the world.
Global networking opportunities
ICA schools can draw upon the experiences of peers around the world and undertake collaborative professional development. Our PD Hub provides resources to support teachers and leaders, including consultancy, webinars, online courses, and networking communities.
Our annual International Curriculum Conference, gives educators, school leaders, and innovators the chance to come together to explore the practices, evidence and decisions that are making the greatest difference in schools today.
Join an upcoming conference to experience this for yourself.
Quality professional development and training
Unlocking Potential
For teachers and leaders of the IEYC, IPC and IMYC
Educators at ICA schools benefit from a variety of professional development opportunities that are designed to enhance knowledge, skills, and competencies, ensuring they remain effective and innovative in their teaching practices.
Globally competent and compassionate learners
Our adaptable curriculum not only promotes global competence and aligns with local contexts but also nurtures students to become passionate, informed, and compassionate learners, while supporting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
International Learning in the ICA requires that students engage with and consider a range of perspectives. Students learn how to make ethical decisions with an empathetic mindset, solving problems with the best outcome for all. They wrestle with problems as they learn about challenges and issues related to the Sustainable Development Goals, with units across each curriculum mapped to the SDGs to make learning more meaningful and connected to real life.
Becoming a thinker, communicator and collaborator are explicitly addressed through some of our Personal Goals. Students understand what these skills might look like and sound like in different situations. They are encouraged to demonstrate them both within and beyond the classroom as skills for life.
The International Curriculum Offerings:
IEYC – designed specifically for 2-5-year-olds and builds on the lifelong learning journey that begins at home with families and carers.
IPC – moves to more formal subject learning through thematic units, further developing knowledge, skills and understanding.
IMYC – takes understanding to a deeper conceptual level through multidisciplinary Big Idea units.
Quality assurance and credibility
Champion Quality
Being part of the ICA means having access to guidance and support in achieving and maintaining high standards of quality assurance and accreditation. This can enhance the credibility and reputation of schools, attracting stakeholders who value excellence in education.
