The Curriculum

Ten Ways to Explore the World

Our curriculum isn't a stack of worksheets — it's a life lived richly. Guided by The Taiyib Method, children learn by swimming, cooking, planting, building, and exploring the real world around them.

Learning through living

The city is their classroom.

At Passport, every subject begins with a real experience. Math is discovered while doubling a recipe. Science comes alive in a garden bed. Language blooms over a shared museum morning. Because our cohort is only six children, each explorer is truly seen — and every lesson is woven into a day full of wonder.

  • Experience-based, not worksheet-based
  • Real tools, real places, real responsibilities
  • Ten disciplines woven seamlessly into every week

The full curriculum

Ten disciplines, one joyful journey

Each area is taught the Passport way — hands-on, playful, and personal — so children don't just learn about the world. They live it.

Literacy & Language

Rich stories, phonics play, and conversation that build a lifelong love of words.

Early Math

Science & Discovery

Hands-on experiments and observation that turn 'why?' into wonder.

Community Exploration

Museum mornings, library visits, and neighborhood outings that open the world.

Swimming

Weekly water confidence, safety, and joyful movement in the pool.

Cooking

Real recipes and kitchen skills that grow math, language, and healthy habits.

A week at Passport

What a week looks like

Every week has a gentle rhythm — familiar enough to feel safe, rich enough to feel like an adventure.

1

Monday

Water & Wonder

The week opens in the pool — building confidence and courage — then flows into storytime and morning discovery.

2

Tuesday

Kitchen & Numbers

A real recipe becomes a math lesson: measuring, counting, and following steps, finished with a shared table.

3

Wednesday

The City Is Our Classroom

Community exploration day — a museum, a garden, or a library — where the world outside becomes the lesson.

4

Thursday

Earth & Growth

Hands in the soil: planting, tending, and observing science unfold in the garden, then art to capture it.

5

Friday

Make & Build

STEM, blocks, and creative studio time — a joyful week's-end of tinkering, painting, and small celebrations.
