Trust the Parents!
The 2008
Graduation will be a memorable event!
Honor your high school graduating senior at the Expo! CHN's
graduation ceremony combines traditional and individual expression.
This special event is small enough so that the graduates can
invite their entire family to this personal and meaningful
celebration. If your child will be graduating in 2008, it's
time to plan now, if he or she wishes to graduate at the Expo.

 The
2008 ceremony will be held on Sunday, August 3rd, at 2:00 pm
in the Ontario Marriott ballroom. The registration fee for this
special event is $25/graduate, and registrations are accepted
in the order that they are received. Graduates who are registered
for the Expo and who register for the graduation by May 1st
may participate in the graduation at no additional charge, provided
that there is space when they register. The graduate's family
will provide the required cap and gown, in his/her choice of
color, and a diploma. CHN will assist families in locating the
resources so that they receive what they want.
Graduation
FAQ:
1.
Who can participate?
All graduating
homeschool high school seniors from CHN member families are
invited to participate.
2.
How does CHN determine eligibility?
CHN
does not make the determination, and there is no test, or
other requirement. Each private school determines the requirements
for their school, and that means the parents of the graduate
make that decision. When you decide that your child is ready
to graduate, CHN will be proud to share that moment with you!
3. Why
do homeschoolers attend graduations?
Even
if you have always done things your way, there's something
about a graduation from high school that is so special. It's
an important milestone! Having a place where you and your
child can be honored, and where your friends and relatives
can be invited can be important.
4. What is a typical CHN graduation like?
What
most people notice is that it is personal,
and the nicest graduation they have ever attended! The graduate
is not lost in a crowd of 500 kids, so the graduation has
more meaning. A family member presents the diploma to their
graduate, and usually has a few heartfelt things to say to
the child. Sometimes the child responds. It can be a very
touching moment, and is one that will never be forgotten.
5. Do you limit the number of graduates? Why?
Yes, we limit
it to 20 graduates so that it will remain personal.
