Curriculum Overview
Rank is a marker of development, not the purpose of learning.
The curriculum is organized around progressive goals: foundations, epistemic discipline, integration, independent application, accountability, and legacy. Exact credit requirements are still being finalized, so this page shows the educational direction rather than a final checklist.
Paths and specializations
Depth develops after the common foundation.
The Guardian, Sentinel, and Consular paths represent different areas of emphasis rather than separate standards of what it means to be a Jedi. Each path can develop further specialties as the curriculum expands.
Warrior MasterAdvanced physical and combat-focused specialization.
Sentinel
Emphasizes investigation, security, adaptability, cultural awareness, practical knowledge, and identifying problems before they grow.
ShadowAdvanced study of hidden patterns, investigation, and shadow psychology.
Consular
Emphasizes diplomacy, philosophy, mediation, insight, spiritual study, teaching, and relationship with the Force and nature.
SageAdvanced contemplative, philosophical, intuitive, and esoteric study.
Leadership and governance are distinct from educational rank. Head roles and Council membership may recognize service or responsibility, but they are not additional stages in the learning arc.

Council of First Knowledge
High CouncilTwo pathways toward Knighthood
Mentorship is valuable. It is not the only way to demonstrate competence.
Mentored Path
Learners who benefit from apprenticeship can work with a mentor through study, practical application, reflection, feedback, service, and preparation for assessment.
Best for learners who want guided development and an ongoing teaching relationship.
Assessment / Prior-Learning Path
Experienced Jedi will be able to demonstrate equivalent competence through standardized testing, prior records, portfolio evidence, practical assessment, interviews, and the same core expectations for ethical judgment and application.
This pathway is being developed. Exact equivalency requirements have not yet been finalized.
Same standard, different route. The goal is not to make Knighthood easier for experienced Jedi. It is to avoid requiring them to repeat an apprenticeship when they can already demonstrate the intended learning outcomes.
Assessment
Progress should be demonstrated, not assumed.
The current curriculum uses several forms of evaluation so no single test has to represent the whole Jedi.
Written assessment
Knowledge, reasoning, philosophy, history, research, and the ability to explain a conclusion.
Practical assessment
Application, communication, leadership, self-awareness, physical or technical skills where relevant, and behavior in realistic situations.
Reflection and portfolio
Prior work, journals, projects, service, research, teaching, and evidence of development over time.
Trials
Comprehensive assessments designed to test integrated knowledge, character, judgment, courage, skill, and the ability to put Jedi principles into action.
For Orders and training communities
A standard can be shared without becoming centralized authority.
The curriculum is being built so Jedi communities that value knowledge and epistemic integrity can use its learning outcomes, assessments, or individual courses as useful infrastructure while retaining their own identity and governance.
Electives and expansion
The curriculum should never pretend to be finished.
Required foundations provide a common educational baseline, while electives allow Jedi to develop depth according to interests, vocation, experience, and community needs.

What are we missing?
If you have expertise in a subject that belongs in a serious Jedi education, we want to hear the case for it. Electives can be proposed without joining the Council or becoming a permanent instructor.
Suggest a Course or ElectiveA curriculum is a living body of knowledge.
It should be testable, revisable, teachable, and open to improvement when better information becomes available.
