Our Curriculum

QMAK’s curriculum equips families with everything they need to raise critical thinkers, confident creators, and emotionally intelligent human beings—from age 4 through to adulthood.

Built around our core philosophies of “Question More” and “Action Knowledge,” this cohesive learning framework nurtures curiosity, sharpens thinking, and turns knowledge into real-world capability—while honouring each child’s unique developmental stage and pace.

Individual Development vs Structured Curriculum

Every child develops differently. Our curriculum balances honouring your child’s unique pace—their personality, experiences, and neurological diversity—with providing the structured guidance that ensures they receive appropriate foundational knowledge and skills at each stage. Grade-level recommendations are adaptable, never rigid.

The Recommended Curriculum

Playschool (Age 4+)

No worksheets. No milestones. Just wonder.

Our Playschool programme is built around the way four-year-olds actually learn — through play, rich conversation, and joyful discovery. We nurture curiosity and exploration by encouraging questions, following each child’s natural interests, and treating the whole world as a classroom.

A strong sense of safety and security runs through everything we do, creating the conditions where children feel free to try, fail, and try again without fear. From this foundation, we focus on building genuine self-esteem and confidence — helping each child come to see themselves as capable, creative, and worthy of love.

We also include carefully selected Bluey episodes that model positive family dynamics, emotional regulation, and imaginative play, alongside an optional AI Master Prompt designed to capture a beautiful snapshot of your child’s unique world of wonder.

Kindergarten (Age 5+)

The first sparks of intentional learning — delivered with a light touch. Our Kindergarten curriculum channels the natural curiosity of five-year-olds into meaningful experiences across mindfulness, entrepreneurial thinking, music, nature, and storytelling. 

Mind Explorers introduces mindfulness and awareness activities paired with carefully chosen picture books, building attention, sensory awareness, and present-moment focus. 

Business for Kids makes its playful entrance, helping children begin to notice opportunities, understand what people need, and explore the idea of creating value. 

Our original Creature Teachers songs bring life lessons to life through memorable animal characters, wordplay, and heart — making big ideas genuinely stick. Learning 

Through Nature uses selected documentary segments to spark wonder and open conversations about teamwork, persistence, and courage. 

Curated Bluey episodes round out the year, reinforcing emotional regulation, cooperation, imagination, and everyday problem-solving in ways that feel natural and fun.

Our Grade 1 curriculum is designed around the natural curiosity and wonder of six-year-olds, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of thoughtful learning. Monthly lessons span critical thinking, entrepreneurship, self-awareness, and foundational skills rarely touched in traditional schooling. 

Mind Explorers guides children through identity, emotional intelligence, and regulation — helping six-year-olds begin to understand who they are and how their inner world works. 

Business for Kids introduces the earliest seeds of entrepreneurial thinking through the six ways to create value, from making products to sharing resources. 

Cognitive Biases and Mental Models gently introduce young minds to the forces that shape thinking and decision-making, while Systems Thinking helps children notice how environments, resources, and backup plans connect in the world around them. Original songs, nature documentaries, carefully chosen films, and Bluey episodes enrich the curriculum throughout the year, bringing each concept to life through story and conversation. 

Developmental Growth Objectives introduce two foundational areas of focus this year — building self-responsibility and developing a sense of personal power — planting seeds that will grow throughout every year of the curriculum ahead.

Grade 2 (Age 7+)

Our Grade 2 curriculum builds meaningfully on the foundations established in Grade 1, deepening each child’s capacity for self-awareness, creative thinking, and early ethical reasoning. Seven-year-olds are ready to engage more confidently with ideas, and our monthly lessons reflect that growing capability across entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence, and thinking skills traditional education often leaves behind.

Grade 7 (Age 12+)

Twelve is a threshold. Our Grade 7 curriculum meets this transformation head-on, offering 4 to 6 monthly lessons designed for adolescents who are beginning to ask the big questions — about identity, fairness, purpose, and where they fit in the world. 

Decision Mastery makes its debut this year, equipping students with practical frameworks for probability assessment, decision trees, opportunity costs, and strategic thinking that will serve them for life. 

Inner Compass deepens significantly, moving into ethics, social responsibility, and mindful living as twelve-year-olds develop a more complex sense of self. 

Math Missions advances into sophisticated real-world problem-solving, while Cognitive Biases and Mental Models introduce more nuanced frameworks that reveal how our minds process information, assess risk, and make decisions — both automatically and deliberately. 

Systems Thinking explores how complex systems behave, grow, and sometimes fail, with concepts carefully matched to the expanding analytical mind of a twelve-year-old. 

Learning Through Nature uses a rich documentary series to ground abstract ideas in the real world, and a new character-focused film strand introduces carefully selected stories that explore timeless virtues and what it means to live with integrity. 

Developmental Growth Objectives continue their progression this year, revisiting and deepening the personal development work begun in earlier grades while adding new focus on moving past blame, complaint, and criticism — building the emotional resilience and relational maturity that adolescence demands.

Grade 9 (Age 14+)

At fourteen, teenagers are thinking in ways that would have been impossible two years ago — grappling with ethical complexity, questioning assumptions, and actively constructing the identity they’ll carry into adulthood. 

Our Grade 9 curriculum rises to this moment with 4 to 6 monthly lessons that genuinely challenge their expanding capacity for abstract reasoning while supporting their search for personal meaning and authentic self-expression.

 Business for Teens makes its debut this year, guiding students through a progressive exploration of business consciousness — from the most limited mindsets all the way through to mastery and purpose-driven enterprise.

Grade 11 (Age 16+)

At sixteen, something shifts. The analytical tools your teenager has been building for years are ready to be woven into something deeper — a personal philosophy, an intuitive sense of direction, and the beginnings of genuine wisdom. 

Our Grade 11 curriculum honours this transition with a deliberately more open structure, creating space for integration rather than instruction. 

Inner Compass moves into life purpose, personal mission, and authentic self-expression at its most profound level yet. 

Systems Thinking explores how complex systems behave unpredictably, how extremes self-correct, and how seemingly different patterns can express the same underlying truth. 

Mental Models this year introduce a sophisticated framework for updating beliefs in light of new evidence — sharpening probabilistic reasoning in ways that serve students for life. 

Film analysis and the character-focused cinema strand both deepen significantly, engaging with philosophical complexity and mature virtues that reward the level of thinking sixteen-year-olds are now capable of. 

Developmental Growth Objectives continue their long arc this year, with a new focus introduced around cultivating authentic happiness and humour — a capacity that tends to emerge as the analytical mind relaxes and students begin to find genuine lightness and meaning from within rather than from external circumstances.

Grade 12 (Age 17+)

This is the final year. 

Our Grade 12 curriculum honours the threshold your teenager now stands at — not by adding more content, but by creating space for the deepest work of all: synthesising everything they’ve learned into a coherent worldview and stepping into adulthood with genuine inner sovereignty. 

Inner Compass reaches its capstone this year, guiding students through life purpose, future visioning, and the creation of a personal philosophy they can actually live by. 

Systems Thinking explores how to navigate optimisation, how systems converge and diverge, and how to account for the rare but catastrophic risks that conventional thinking tends to overlook. 

Mental Models introduce a framework for sitting with radical uncertainty — developing the kind of nuanced risk awareness that mature adult life demands. 

The film analysis and character-focused cinema strands reach their most profound level yet, engaging with the hardest questions about forgiveness, love, spirituality, and what it truly means to live well. 

The Developmental Growth Objective introduced in this final year — cultivating unconditional love and compassion — represents the full flowering of everything the curriculum has been building toward: a capacity that emerges not from more thinking, but from a transformed relationship with life itself. 

By the end of this year, students leave not just with knowledge and skills, but with the emotional wisdom, ethical clarity, and open-heartedness to carry them through whatever comes next.
