GRADUATION CEREMONIES

Since our students are spread across several states, the Gateway Total Homeschool Program doesn’t have a graduation ceremony. However, many local support groups have a cap-and-gown ceremony you can sign up for, or you can present the diploma in your own celebration with friends and family. (We will mail the diploma to your home.)

 

If you have a specific date for the ceremony, plan ahead. You should aim to submit grades early enough to allow 2 weeks to process final grades and issue the diploma. The diploma and a copy of the transcript will then be mailed to you.

 

We don’t provide graduation supplies, but you may print your own invitations or graduation announcements. Some students design class rings through a local jeweler or department store. Gateway’s school colors are red, white and blue, and our mascot is the “Challenger,” represented as a knight mounted on a horse. Below are some websites where you can order graduation supplies including class rings, caps, and gowns:
