The Luminary Tech Path
A full weekday programme. GCSE-led. Built for serious families.
3 or 4 days a week, structured around real subjects and real outcomes. For home-educating families who want a programme that goes somewhere — not a patchwork of tutors.
What we hear from home-ed families
“I want a structured weekday programme that actually leads to qualifications.”
Most home-ed setups work brilliantly for primary years and start to wobble around GCSE. The subjects multiply, the lab work gets harder to fake at the kitchen table, and the social piece — a peer group of similarly-paced children — gets thinner.
The Luminary Tech Path is our answer. A full timetable, a fixed peer group, qualified teachers across the core subjects, and a clear route to GCSEs — without the constraints of school.
The curriculum
What your child actually studies.
Eight strands. Academic core, technical depth, and a character pillar. Not all eight every day — the timetable rotates around the week.
Computer Science
Python, C++, web, Linux, AI. Mapped to AQA GCSE Computer Science and BCS Level 1 + 2.
BCS Robotics
Arduino, electronics, mechanics, control systems. BCS Level 1 + 2 (GCSE-equivalent).
GCSE Maths
Full GCSE coverage, taught in a small group, paced to the child rather than the cohort.
GCSE English
Reading, writing, comprehension. Built for engineers who'll still need to communicate.
Triple Science
Biology, Chemistry, Physics — separate GCSEs, not combined. Lab-style where possible.
Mandarin
A modern language with weight. Weekly lessons, exam-track for those who want it.
Electronics
Hands-on circuits, PCBs, soldering. Pairs with robotics — children build what they design.
The Forge
Leadership, public speaking, fitness, entrepreneurship. The non-academic half of becoming useful.
The non-academic half
The Forge.
Most programmes stop at academic outcomes. The Forge is the other half — the part that decides what your child does with their qualifications.
Leadership
Running a project, leading a team, owning a result. Children take turns leading sessions, presentations and builds.
Public speaking
Weekly speaking practice. By GCSE age they can stand up, hold a room, and make a coherent argument.
Fitness
Physical fitness as a non-negotiable. Sitting at a screen is part of the work — fitness is how we stay capable of doing it.
Entrepreneurship
Small ventures, real money, real customers. Children learn to make, price, sell and reflect on something they built.
Schedule
3 or 4 days per week — shaped to your family.
Some families come 3 days, some 4. The timetable is set per cohort. We’ll talk through your child’s age, current level, and what you want them out of LTP by — then propose a schedule.
Free Tech Assessment
Start with a Free Tech Assessment.
Every LTP enrolment begins with a Free Tech Assessment. We see where your child is, where they want to go, and whether LTP is the right route for them.
