The Astropoetic School Basic Course is conducted through a series of 24 written lessons, spread over four years of instruction. Each lesson contains a homework assignment, and includes a follow-up 90-minute phone consultation after the homework is turned in.

A detailed outline of each lesson, including topics covered and homework assignments, can be found in the Lesson Plan.

Lessons posted on this site are encrypted, but can be downloaded as PDF files from this page, using the password you will receive upon registration.

Lessons can be downloaded individually or a year at a time, although it is recommended that you only download the lesson you will be working on next. Each lesson builds on material covered in the preceding lesson, and must be completed before homework to successive lessons will be accepted. Students who have completed the Advance Placement Exam may be excused from specific lessons, if their performance on the exam warrants it.

Adobe Acrobat Reader will be necessary to view the downloaded files. If you do not already have a copy of this free program on your computer, it is available at the Adobe web site.

Upon completion of the homework assignment in each lesson, email your response to me at jlandwehr @ astropoetics.com, and I will contact you by email to set up a phone consultation at a mutually convenient time.
