Etymology

Latin plural of 'currículum' (literally 'a running course,' from 'currere' meaning 'to run'). This is the traditional Latin plural, though 'curriculums' is now more common in English.

Kelly Says

Curricla is the Latin plural that shows how 'curriculum' literally means 'a running course'—the metaphor of education as a race or journey through learning material is built into the very word!
