Tentative curriculum · FO-01
Induction and Foundation Orientation
Begin with the teaching relationship and ethical expectations. Learn what the house is doing, how its relationships grow, and how its three instructional doors and Five Crowns belong together. Then enter the separate ten-lesson Five Crowns Foundations unit.
This is a broad orientation, not practical mastery or priestly authorization. The structure remains open to rebalancing. Fifteen readings are developed; one required meditation reading is to be announced.
Time and learning expectations
Planning estimate: allow 30–60 minutes per developed reading for reading or review, a 12-question public practice quiz, a distinct 12-question private assessment, and a short reflection. That is approximately 8–15 hours across the fifteen developed readings. Longer doctrine articles may need more than one sitting; this is an estimate, not a completion threshold.
A manageable pace is two readings per week over about eight weeks, or three per week over five weeks. Instructor meetings and sustained practical training are additional. The meditation lesson will add time when developed.
For each reading, note one idea learned, one application and one question. Public practice is available to everyone. Private assessment uses the existing student login, active adult enrollment and saved reading completion. No additional quiz-pass or login-block rule is introduced here.
