"The hidden curriculum consists of those things pupils learn through the experience of attending school rather than the stated educational objectives of such institutions."

So not everything you learn in school is actually taught by the teachers as part of the subject matter like English or History. The experience -- e.g. dealing with other students -- also teaches you. You also learn how to juggle multiple deadlines -- as another example. "Deadlines" and "due dates" isn't a subject you learn; it's something that we all go through.

The previous answers were correct but aren't the whole story. A hidden curriculum also teaches things that are not functional to society such as stereotypes and performance expectations. Students learn what is appropriate behavior in a learning environment, etc.

The things we are meant to learn that aren't necessarily on the agenda. What we get out of certain things taught to us.
