Homeschool Review: Homeschool Diploma #hsreviews #HSGraduation #Diplomas

We are down to our final graduate at Long Leaf Academy and I would have it no other way than to present her with one of the beautiful diplomas from Homeschool Diploma.  Homeschool Diploma offers three different types of High School Diplomas (The Standard Diploma, The Personalized Diploma, and The Gilded Diploma) and the best part is that they are each customized to your liking.  The Standard Diploma can be customized with your school name, graduate's name, city, and graduation date.  A lovely option, it is anything but standard.  For my final graduate, we have chosen The Personalized Diploma because it can be designed to reflect her heart, as well as her education.  The third option available is the extra-fancy Gilded Diploma which is very similar to our Personalized Diploma with the additon of 23-karat gold illumination gilding.  All diplomas are available in a 6 x 8 or 8.5 x 11 size and can be perfectly designed to fit your style.

We were introduced to these high quality diplomas a few years ago when my son was preparing for graduation and I simply fell in love.  For my oldest daughters' graduations, we printed diplomas on a weighted paper.  They were nice, but not nearly as exceptional as the ones we have received from Homeschool Diploma. As a matter of fact, my eldest daughter saw her youngest sister's diploma when it arrived a few weeks ago and suggested that maybe, just maybe, I should replace hers and her sister's printed-by-me diplomas with some from Homeschool Diploma.  How's that for an endorsement?

Customizing your diploma from Homeschool Diploma is a simple process. First, I chose the 8.5 x 11 size and then began working through the steps online to create the perfect diploma for my "baby."  Through a series of drop-down boxes, you are able to choose the center seal (embossed foil or engraved), add the graduate's name and gender, and the name of your school and city/state (listing the city/state is optional, but as you can see -- we liked it), choose the wording for your diploma (there are 4 different choices and each choice has several options to make it perfectly yours.  We chose to remind our daughter that she demonstrates GODly wisdom in her life.), choose to include a special Bible verse or quote (you can choose one provided or enter your own), personalize how you would like signature lines titled, choose the paper it will be printed on and the font that will be used, pick an honors seal, and choose a diploma cover.  The one disappointment that I have in myself is that I failed to choose an honors seal when I ordered.  I'm not sure where my head was when I ordered, but I have seen a friend's diploma with the honor seal and it is absolutely stunning.  Learn from my mistake and make sure to pick a seal for your graduate.   You can see how our "finished product" turned out in the picture below.  The Personalized Diploma is such a special way to finish our years together.

For my son, I really wanted a diploma that would speak directly to his heart as he read over it and that would challenge him to strive for excellence always.  Our Homeschool Diploma was perfect for that, so I knew that I wanted the same thing for my daughter.  I especially love the line that states that she is equipped by the grace of GOD to meet the challenges of life as an adult.  I want her to fully understand and rely of that GRACE in all areas of her life.   Where elements of her education may fail, GOD will not.

Deuteronomy 11:17-18 tells us to commit ourselves wholeheartedly to GOD's word -- to "Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up."  It has been of the utmost importance to me -- our number one goal in educating our children at home -- that they will know GOD's Word and understand to WHOM they belong.  Jeremiah 29:11 has been a life verse for our family, and I love being able to include it right on the diploma.  I desire for my children to always know that GOD's plans are better for them than any they could come up with on their own.

Long Leaf Academy is home. It is the place where we have nurtured and corrected, where we have studied and learned.  For us, home education is about so much more than book knowledge.  It is about growing a heart that yearns for more of JESUS everyday.  We have strived to offer a Christian education based on the solid truth of GODliness and character found in the WORD.

Our Homeschool Diploma gives us the perfect canvas to share all of that and will serve as a beautiful reminder of our expectations, hopes, and standards for our family.  You can see the details of our chosen seal in the picture below.  I think it is the perfect reflection of our school.

Graduation really is such a special time in the life of a homeschool family and Homeschool Diploma will help you pull it all together as you strive to bring glory and honor to GOD.  You can purchase caps and gowns, tassels, honor cords, medallions, and invitations.  There are even class rings, key chains, keepsakes, and announcements and invitations available.  The 8th Grade Diploma will help make the transition into high school special and there are even Cap, Gown, Tassel, and Diploma options for celebrating your Kindergarten milestones, too.  Truly, everything you need to make your graduation ceremony special is available at Homeschool Diploma.  You simply supply the graduate and Homeschool Diploma will take care of the rest.
