Homeschool Diploma: Calligraphy Service and Graduation Supplies for Homeschooling Families


How will you be celebrating your son or daughter's homeschool graduation? 

There are as many styles of graduations as there are families... we hear from so many people who say "my son (or daughter) does not want to participate in a ceremony. What can I do?" It is important to mark the accomplishment in some way, both for the student and for their family and friends. We want to bring closure to the years of home schooling in a way that recognizes the unique accomplishments of our children and brings honor to the Lord for his work in their lives, but we also want to respect the wishes of these young adults. A traditional "cap and gown" ceremony may be the delight of one student and the dismay of another!  

To help you decide how your family will celebrate this important event, we've put together a collection of articles that we think you will find helpful.

Here are some links:

1. Barb Shelton has two articles at the Homeschool Oasis that contrast two the very different kinds of graduation ceremonies that were held for her daughter and son: Sharnessa's graduation and... Tory's Graduation:


2.
Commencement: an Alternative to Graduation from Philip Lancaster's wonderul Patriarch website.

 

3. Homeschool Graduation The Christian Homeschooling Fellowship Web has this article by Jane Swanson about her son's graduation ceremony.


4. Three Homeschool Graduations  Sue McNabb has written to us with a wonderful story about the very special  graduation traditions that her family has created.

 

5. "Graduation Day!" Here is a very thorough page from the Family Learning Network  by Tamara Willey with links and ideas for everything from decorations to  food!
