Question: Where can I order a homeschool diploma?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hi, Jennifer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My homeschooled son will be graduating from high school in May. I’ve just about completed his transcript, but am wondering how to go about getting him a diploma. I remember seeing the ones you gave your kids at graduation, and I really liked them. Where did you order them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer: Why not make or print your own?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hi, Kaye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always enjoyed calligraphy, so the diplomas we’ve awarded our graduates were handmade.<\/strong> You are welcome to use it as a pattern for your own if you like doing that sort of thing yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n

If calligraphy is not your jam, you can also order a ready-made diploma online<\/strong>. The Diploma Store<\/a> has several styles from which to choose, all for about $15 to $20, including shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer to print it yourself<\/strong>, you’ll find a wide array of free diploma templates<\/a> on Canva<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few mock-ups I did to give you an idea of what’s available, but they have dozens more styles to choose from. These templates<\/a> are all FREE. You do not have to sign up for Canva Pro<\/a> to access and use them (although, if you’re a creator, you may decide their pro-account is totally worth it.)<\/p>\n\n\n

All of Canva’s templates<\/a> are fully customizable, so you’ll only be out a few minute’s time plus the cost of your paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to your son on his graduation, Kaye, and to you, for persevering to the end!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
