Luminara Academy
A free homeschool curriculum, toddlers to about twelve
A homeschool curriculum with free material and some paid material, built around Charlie's Amazing Adventures: read-along books, activity books and lessons that teach children to notice, to be patient, to share and to care.
The first funds pay for printing, illustration and the read-along app, so the free material reaches more families.
Every child carries a spark of the light. A curriculum that teaches wonder, kindness and careful looking is a gift to the whole world.
In plain words
Four books
Charlie's Amazing Gift, Charlie and Luna's Night of Discovery, Charlie and Tavi Take Their Time, and Charlie and Nibi Share the Sea are finished and illustrated.
The read-along app
A free app that reads each book aloud, lighting up every word, on any phone, tablet or computer. All four books are in it. It works offline and collects nothing: no ads, no accounts, no tracking, nothing leaves the device.
Activity books and lessons
Colouring, counting, letters, simple science and more, matched to each story.
Free and paid
The core material stays free. Some printed books and extended units will be sold, and every dollar earned returns to the mission through the Fellowship engine.
The Luminara Academy Parent Guide
The complete step-by-step guide as a free PDF, written so that any community can follow it. It appears here the day it is finished.
Learn by watching
Reading aloud, teaching with stories, homeschooling the Luminara way. Made in house, free, and paired with the guide.
- Read the books with a child and tell us what they loved
- Teachers and homeschool parents: test a lesson
- Translate a book
Everything we learn goes into the free guide and the workshop videos. When they are ready, any congregation, church, school or neighbourhood may take them and build the same thing, with our blessing and without asking.
You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid.Matthew 5:14 · The Fellowship Bible
