Answer 0901: Can you get a homeschool diploma without going through a graduation ceremony?
The short answer
is YES!
Now for the
longer answer: All homeschools in Indiana are considered PRIVATE, NON-ACCREDITED
SCHOOLS. You are educating your child just as the majority of private schools
in the state are educating their students. You are principal and administrator.
YOU, issue the diploma when YOU have decided that your child has met his or
her requirements for graduation.
Many parents, however, prefer to commemorate this time in life, with an event.
There are support groups throughout the state that hold graduations. A statewide
organization, The Indiana
Foundation for Home Schooling has graduation options available. Also search
The IHEN Web Project web site
and IHENŐs Links Database
for more information on public homeschooler graduations.
The IndianaHomeschoolers
e-mail discussion list is also a great e-mail list for advice and support
from homeschoolers from all over the state.
