If you want to learn computer science more thoroughly, why don't you take a university-level course? You can continue freelancing to pay your way through it. That would give you broad-ranging skills and a good qualification to present to clients/employers. I'm not sure if this is the best option for you, but then I'd be curious why that's not your first choice. Since you have a clear understanding of what you need, you can pick a course that fits you and ignore the bullshit that comes with it.
