Lumiritz
What Lumiritz actually does
Lumiritz is a learning system for homeschoolers, built from a small number of distinct parts. This page explains what each one is, why it exists, and what it does for a child or a parent.
What the system knows
The structure underneath
What a child should learn, in what order, and how one child's route through it is described. Everything else on this page depends on these three.
Curriculum
The curriculum defines what a child should learn and in what order. It holds grades, topics, standards and the individual skills underneath them, along with which skills depend on which others.
It exists so that sequencing is an explicit, reviewable structure rather than something buried inside lesson content. Because prerequisites are recorded, Lumiritz can tell that a child is missing a foundation rather than simply that they got a question wrong.
Today: production is published with Common Core Grade 1 Mathematics — one subject, built out fully and aligned to that standard. Lumiritz is not aligned to Cambridge, Pearson, CBSE, NIOS or any other framework.
Skills
A skill is the smallest unit a child can be said to have learned — a specific, checkable capability rather than a broad topic. Skills are what progress is recorded against.
Working at skill level is what makes targeted practice possible: instead of repeating a whole topic because part of it was shaky, a child practises the specific skill that needs work.
Learning paths
A learning path connects one child to the curriculum: which subject they are working on and where in the sequence they are. A parent sets it up and can change it.
It exists because the curriculum is shared and the child’s route through it is not. The path is what turns a general body of material into this child’s plan.
When it happens
Planning the week
Deciding what a child learns and deciding when any of it happens are two different jobs. These are the second one — and they cover the whole of a homeschool week, not only the part that runs inside Lumiritz.
Planner
Planner is one schedule per family, holding everything a child has on: Lumiritz learning, external classes, practice, reading, activities, tasks, outings and other commitments. A Lumiritz session and a tennis class are the same kind of entry — something a particular child has, at a time, on a day.
It exists because a homeschool happens in more than one place. Some of it is in Lumiritz, some at a desk, some in a class, some at the library, some outside. Planner is where a family sees all of it as one week, for the whole household or for one child at a time.
Today: Planner does not connect to Google Calendar, Outlook or any other outside calendar, does not book or pay for classes, and does not generate a schedule for you. A parent decides what goes in the week. See the homeschool planner page for the whole of it.
Recurring activities
An activity that happens every week is set up once. Entries can repeat daily, on weekdays, weekly, or on days you choose, with an optional date to stop on when a term ends.
Most of a homeschool routine repeats, and re-entering it is the kind of work that quietly stops getting done. A rule rather than a list of dates is also what lets one class be edited, or ended, without hunting through a year of copies.
A child's own week
A child sees the same plan their parent made, limited to their own activities, opening on Today. They can tick off what they have finished and start a Lumi activity an entry points at. They cannot add, edit, reschedule or delete anything.
The week can also be printed: one landscape page, a column per day, each child’s avatar and name on their own activities, and a box beside each one big enough to tick with a pencil. What a child ticks on paper stays on paper.
What happens in a sitting
Inside a learning session
The shape of a lesson, how the next one is chosen, where AI sits inside it, and what carries the learning away from the screen.
Learning sessions
A session is one sitting of learning: an ordered sequence of short steps — reading, watching, listening, guided practice, independent practice, quiz, open response, reflection, worksheet — rather than an open-ended activity.
Structuring a session as typed steps means the shape of a lesson is deliberate: explanation before practice, practice before assessment. It also means a session can be paused and resumed without losing the place.
Adaptive learning
Adaptation is the decision about what a child does next, made from what they have demonstrated rather than from a fixed timetable. A child who has secured a skill moves on; a child who has not gets further work on that skill.
It exists to remove the compounding gap that fixed-pace instruction creates. The value is that time is spent where it is actually needed.
How AI is used
AI is used inside Lumiritz to generate and enrich learning content, to evaluate open-ended answers that cannot be marked by a simple key, and to support the guided parts of a session. Working inside a session with a stated objective is what makes it useful to a young child: it can explain the idea another way or offer more practice, so the child can keep going without waiting for an adult.
It is deliberately not a free-form chatbot pointed at a child. When a child asks for help outside the lesson, that request opens the shared family conversation rather than a private child-to-model channel. Every AI execution is logged with its feature, model and outcome, so AI use inside the product is auditable rather than opaque.
Worksheets
Worksheets are printable pages generated from structured content using fixed page templates, so the same worksheet produces the same layout every time.
They exist because not all practice should happen on a screen — handwriting, working out and showing method are all easier on paper. Worksheets can appear as a step inside a session or be printed for work away from the device.
What a family gets back
What you can see afterwards
A session that leaves no trace is a session a parent has to take on trust. These three are what turn completed work into something you can read, review and plan from.
Progress tracking
Progress is the record of what a child has demonstrated over time, held separately from the material and from any individual session. It is expressed per skill — whether a child’s current grasp looks strong, still developing, or in need of practice.
Keeping progress separate is what allows an honest view: it reflects what was actually shown, not how much time was spent or how many activities were opened. Checks for understanding happen inside sessions — through quiz and open-response steps — and feed this record, rather than existing as a separate testing regime.
The learning record
Progress per skill, the history of completed sessions, and the worksheets and assessments that went with them together form a record of what a child has actually done over time. A parent can read it without having been present for any of it.
It exists because a homeschooling family needs to be able to look back, not just forward: for planning, for progress reviews, for a portfolio, for family documentation. To be clear about what it is not — it is not an official academic transcript or school report card. Lumiritz is not an accredited school, awards no qualification, and makes no claim that this record satisfies a homeschool reporting requirement in any jurisdiction.
Parent dashboard
The dashboard is the parent’s view of the household: the children on the account, what each is working on, recent sessions, and the progress record behind them.
It exists so that a parent is not asked to take Lumiritz’s word for it. A session in progress can be watched live, sessions are reviewable after the fact, and the family conversation — including every time a child asked for help — is visible in the same account. It is a place to stay informed rather than a console a parent has to operate for learning to happen.
Join the early access program
Lumiritz is in early access. A parent creates the account and sets up the child's profile after signing in.
