=== Curriculum and tarbiyah are two halves of one whole. The Tarbiyah Institute provides a framework that is a interweaving of Quranic Worldview, academics and life skills - which a learning community may build upon. Tarbiyah Pedagogy guides how the curriculum is determined, developed, delivered and assessed. ===
 * === Tarbiyah is an Arabic term with a deeply rich meaning. It means "to cause something to develop from stage to stage until reaching its completion [full potential]. This implies that the fitrah (intrinsic nature) already exists within a person and that education is a process of unfolding and bringing out, more than a process of instilling and pouring in. It addresses the heart, mind, body, and soul of a learner - recognizing Allah is at the center of all learning experiences. ===

The Tarbiyah Project Framework is used as our guide to customize and enrich the local curriculum goals of each community:

==== The Tarbiyah Project is an extremely well designed program that helps communities move toward a true Islamic education. The late Prof. Dawud Tauhidi has developed a set of powerful ideas as the basis for this teaching/learning approach. A comprehensive curriculum framework - that has Tawhid (God-centeredness in all its aspects) as its core content and approach. Integration of all subject areas around significant themes (Powerful Ideas); taught through authentic instructional models. Inshallah, leading to faith filled life experiences and more effective learning for Muslims of all ages. ==== ||
