The purpose of this study is to identify and design a sustainable secondary education curriculum in sustainable development and provide a desirable model. To carry out the present study, an exploratory sequential mixed method was utilized. In the qualitative stage, in order to identify the components of sustainable secondary education in sustainable development, a questionnaire was prepared and data were collected using semi-structured interviews with education specialists and experts. Also, the review of high-level documents, theoretical background, and previous research was done in a quite harmonized manner. In three stages, qualitative data coding, categories, and components of sustainable secondary education were obtained. Following the qualitative stage, i.e., in the quantitative stage, the final model was presented with the aim of implementing a questionnaire and confirming the components of sustainable secondary education in sustainable development. Finally, with the participation of 300 managers and experts, the electronic questionnaire was completed. Findings obtained in the quantitative part of the research were analyzed using statistical methods of factor analysis and structural equation modeling using SPSS21 and LISREL8.5 software. The results of the research in the qualitative stage indicate that sustainable secondary education in sustainable development has 14 effective dimensions including environmental management, social sustainability, educational sustainability, political sustainability, participatory sustainability, institutional sustainability, developmental education, environmental sustainability, sustainable management, research sustainability, economic sustainability, sustainable monitoring and evaluation system, sustainable administrative and financial system and cultural sustainability.
