Secondary Curriculum
Ta‘lim is an international programme in religious, moral and cultural education for Ismaili children from pre-school to secondary. Its overall aim is to educate children in the faith, ethics, history and cultures of Muslim peoples and of the Ismaili community in particular. Based on this framework, it seeks to promote self-development, learning and moral responsibility through instructional approaches which encourage creativity and reflection.
The Secondary Level Curriculum developed by the Institute of Ismaili Studies is an international, multilingual programme in religious education and the humanities for the global Ismaili Muslim community. It introduces Ismaili youth to a modular programme of education that examines Islam as both faith and civilisation in world history and in contemporary times. The curriculum approaches the study of Islam in general, and the Shia Ismaili tradition specifically, from humanistic, civilisational and normative perspectives. Students are guided to explore aspects of Islam that relate to religion, ethics, thought and culture in Muslim societies and the Ismaili Tariqah within a broad educational framework.
