Madison's Homeschool Diploma ~ a TOS review

Welcome back friends! Today I have an exciting review to share with you so let’s get started! 


Three years ago we graduated our first graduate, Marie, and now time has flown by and it is Madison’s turn. How can that be!? Well, she does have one more year because she graduates in 2019 but time flies guys so enjoy every moment for sure. I am so excited to share about our Personalized Diploma for Madison from Homeschool Diploma I could have gone with the Standard Diploma they offered but Madison wanted hers to be like Marie’s with a few modifications so we went with the Personalized High School Diploma.


Madison has been homeschooled since the 3rd grade when we moved across country. I tell you bringing the girls (at the time) home has been the best decision for our family. As she heads into her Senior year I love reminiscing about the highs and lows of educating her at home. Next year she will participate in our state’s big Homeschool Graduation ceremony held at the State Homeschool Convention in June, but I am so glad to have the opportunity to have this personalized diploma to showcase all of her hard work.

Homeschool Diploma

Ordering the diploma was so easy and with three different diploma styles to choose from you are sure to find one that suits your family and child! There are many different add-ons available too, like four different seals and awards. You can also personalize the diploma with a favorite scripture verse or saying. They also have “stock” sayings too, so it is not too hard to come up with something special. The ordering system guides you through the whole process and it even has pictures of options for those visual people like myself. So, what exactly did I order?


Here is the info below:
~ Personalized High School Diploma with 8.5” x 11” Deluxe Cover 
~ Seal Design: "Christian Education" Engraved Seal 
 ~ Name of Graduate: XXXX Madison Caffey 
 ~ Gender of Graduate: Female 
 ~ Name of School: A Stable Beginning Christian Academy 
~ Optional City and State of School: XXXXX, VA 
~ School Administrator: Jacquelin Caffey 
 ~ Wording of Diploma: 2B Honors {Honors Course of Study} 
 ~ Verse or Motto: The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr ~ Select the Month: May Day: 31 Year: 2019 
 ~ Left Signature Line: Signature of Mother 
 ~ Right Signature Line: Signature of Father 
 ~ Diploma Paper: Ivory Parchment 
~ Lettering Style: Hand Calligraphy 
 ~ Optional Honors Seal: Summa Cum Laude 
 ~ Diploma Cover: Black with “Classical Education” Crest and School and name stamped on front


After selecting all the options available the final step is to choose your padded cover color and design. Do you want a Seal on it? How about your child’s name? Or your school name? All of these features come exclusive with the Personalized High School Diploma. So, there you have it. Ordering a diploma is as simple as choosing your options and then pushing the order button and waiting for your diploma to arrive. Shipping is super quick, we had our diploma within a week.


We are so pleased with our diploma, I love it! Madison has not actually seen the finished product but she did choose all her selections above. I tell everyone I know with a high schooler to check out HomeschoolDiploma.com for all of their diploma and graduation needs. This is a special time of the year. You have poured everything into your child during their education so reward them and yourself with a beautiful treasure that will last.

I love everything about Homeschool Diploma and the products they provide! And you know what!? They even offer Kindergarten and 8th grade graduation diplomas along with cap and gowns too! I’ll have my last graduating Kindergartener in two years and we will commemorate that special time with his very own Kindergarten diploma.



Also be sure to check out the other special add-ons available, like class rings, apparel, and announcements and envelopes and more!

HomeschoolDiploma.com ~ a TOS review

Last June the LCDR and I had the great pleasure of graduating our oldest child from our homeschool. Since she is our oldest, she was sort of the guinea pig as we navigated the waters of high school home education. I think we did just fine, if I don’t say so myself.
With the culmination of six years of home education coming to an end for her, I was filled with many questions. The biggest of them all was “what about a ceremony and a diploma?” Our State Homeschool Convention, HEAV, offers a graduation ceremony. It’s a huge deal with pictures, diplomas, receptions, and all so Marie was able to take part in this ceremony and receive a diploma. It was a special event, but I wanted to have one with our school name on it and the high honors recognition that she earned, so I am so glad that we were offered the chance to review the Exclusive High School Diploma from HomeschoolDiploma.com.

The Road to Masters

Mike's Masters graduation

Awesome Achievement

Your college graduation
Fills us with love and pride.
We always knew that you could do
Whatever you really tried.

It's a long and challenging journey
To get a college degree,
But you wouldn't quit it, you just went and did it,
And we're beaming affectionately.

Your achievement is awesome, Lt.;
You've worked hard and you've passed the test.
We love you so, and we want you to know,
We think you're the very best!
