Sealy ISD has a locally developed Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum. Our curriculum was written with the assistance of teachers, instructional coaches, and curriculum specialists. The SISD Curriculum is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and state assessments.

The SISD Curriculum provides teachers with planning documents that:
- Ensure equal opportunities for all students to learn the curriculum
- Reduce gaps and unproductive redundancies in the curriculum
