The Midwest school of astrology
Pam Gallagher is the founder and Director of Education at Midwest School of Astrology and Mindy Witt is the President and Director of Operations. They have run the school together since it opened in 2009. The school is the culmination of 50 years of experience and 25+ years of teaching for Pam Gallagher. She has taught many students over the years and travels and speaks all over the world. They purchased and renovated the school building in 2013 and it stands as the only Astrology School in the United States that you can come live or on-line each week to study. Our program is special in many ways but several things set us apart. First, we use our student charts to teach from during each class. We find the personal attachment to the fellow student’s lives makes the learning process much more personal and rewarding. Second, we create a sense of community with our students that we hope stays with them long after they have graduated. Third, we teach in a way that is unlike a singular class, our classes wrap around each other so a topic is covered more than 1x and adds depth as we add more layers of information through the 3 year program. Students may join us at the beginning of a Level each September but the program is designed to be taken in order. All students start in level 1 unless special consideration is given for other affiliated school credits that have been completed. We do allow outside students and visitors to join our Weekend Workshops with guest lecturers during the year but they are mandatory for our Diploma students. We do offer an Audit program for students who are not interested in receiving a Diploma and want to study for their own practical use.
The curriculum focuses on both Practical Astrology for beginners and Diploma requirements for continual study. The program is a 3yr program with Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. Each level has class one night per week for 3 hours + Q& A time. These run from September through June. The program is geared to a more in-depth study of astrology starting with the History of Astrology and Astronomy to interpretation also including alternative astrological methods such as Draconic, Esoteric, Mundane and Harmonics to name just a few. The school features guest speakers each year such as Lee Lehman, Jacquiline Janes, Lea Imsiragic, Julene Louis, David Cochrane, Ann Ortlee and many more that we rotate through our schedule changing topics and levels. These teachers will bring expert knowledge, language and practical experience to the students. Each Level has 8-4 week Courses and 2-weekend works shops with guest lecturers, summer classes and optional electives. All programs at Midwest School of Astrology are offered On-Line as well as In House ....so we have "Gone Global". The on-line program is an interactive program we have developed to make the on-line experience as participatory as possible by using a co-teaching approach with a moderator helping to facilitate questions and participation. All Levels include course tests and a Level Exam. All tests are graded on a Pass/Fail system of grading. Pass means each student has completed all course requirements, including homework assignments and tests. At the completion of Level 3, there is an extensive exam as well as presentation requirements, chart analysis and conference attendance that must be completed prior to receiving a Diploma. We have quite the graduation ceremony and recognition program to celebrate the 3 year journey of our students!
Midwest School of Astrology has an Advanced Study program available to students after graduation. This is our Practical Astrology Program which runs on Thursday Nights from September through June. This Program is an interactive class that allows the students to look at real world charts and events. They look at births, deaths, accidents, world events, Ingresses, business charts and anything new and relevant in the Astrology world. We continue to use our Signature style in using student’s charts as we experiment and expand on astrological topics during this class. The practice of Astrology continues to be Pam’s passion and she teaches this Practical Astrology program. The goal of this class is to help students better understand their own charts in everyday application, testing new methods to find validity and usefulness in personal chart interpretation as well as reviewing the worldly events.
Summer programs are also offered to help all of our current and past students stay connected. The school offers a 1x per month Practical Astrology Night for all of our current and past students to join in for a quick look at “the Astrological Energy of the Times”. What is happening with the Transits, Eclipses, World Events and a topic of Pam’s choosing that is relevant. We also host 1-2 weekend 1 day workshops taught by our staff or occasionally a guest speaker. These workshops are usually a graduate level topic such as Esoteric, Vedic, Vibrational, Karmic, Horary, Electional, Advanced Aspecting, or Declinations to name just a few.
Pam continues to have a thriving chart consulting business and it allows her to practice new and standard methods of Astrology in everyday application. The School has something for everyone and anyone who is interested in Astrology and stretching their knowledge in a stimulating and inclusive atmosphere.
