We offer a "rigorous" curriculum . . .

Below is the definition of "rigorous" from Dictionary.com.

rig·or·ous

  [rig-er-uhs]  Show IPA
adjective
1.
characterized by rigorrigidly severe or harsh, as people, rules, or discipline: rigorous laws.
2.
severely exact or accurate; precise: rigorous research.
3.
(of weather or climate) uncomfortably severe or harsh; extremely inclement.
4.
Logic, Mathematics logically valid.

Not sure the words "harsh," "severe," and "extreme" are the ones I would want to associate with my curriculum.

Words matter, so choose them carefully.
