Curriculum built around your institution

Most schools do very well with our ready-made courses. But some institutions have their own syllabus to follow, their own students to reach and their own goals to hit, and a general course only gets them part of the way there.

For those institutions, our curriculum team builds courses around your syllabus, your students and your outcomes.

A look at recent work

Recently we worked with a network of technological universities in Mexico to build several full courses, made to measure for their students. Each one was mapped to their official syllabus and contact hours, written in the context their students live and work in, and pointed at the certification exam their students need to pass.

The result is curriculum that feels like it was made for their classrooms, because it was. Read how we built the courses for Mexico's technological universities.

Built for your students, not the average student

When we build with you, the course bends to fit your institution:

• Aligned to your syllabus: mapped to the grammar, learning outcomes and contact hours you are required to cover.
• In your students' language and world: first-language explanations where they help, with the names, places and situations your students recognize.
• Relevant to their programs: vocabulary, scenarios and workplaces drawn from the fields your students are heading into.
• Pointed at the right exam: practice modelled on the certification your students sit, from College Board ELASH to IELTS, CELPIP and more.
• Ready for the classroom: teacher-led lessons, auto-marked practice and progress checks your team can assign from day one.

Is it a fit for your institution?

Custom curriculum is for larger programs: institutions and public programs running English across several programs or cohorts. That is where a curriculum built around your own students, rather than a general audience, really pays off, and we plan it with you as part of a wider partnership. Smaller schools start with our ready-made courses, and teachers can add their own material alongside them.

It also works alongside the Smrt English library. Custom courses sit on the same platform as our ready-made courses, with the same gradebook, reports and teacher tools, so your team can mix and match.

Start the conversation

There is no commitment in asking. Tell us a little about your institution and what you would like English to do for your students, and our curriculum team will be in touch to talk it through. You can also read more about Smrt English custom curriculum.
