Just what is the FWAHS Commencement?

The Fort Wayne Area Home Schools 2012 Commencement Ceremony is scheduled for June 2nd with the rehearsal the evening before, June 1st.

The Fort Wayne Area Home Schools (FWAHS) provides a formal commencement ceremony and reception for local home educated high school graduates. There is no residency requirement. We have had graduates from as far away as Warsaw, Marian, Ohio, and Japan. FWAHS does not charge a fee for participation, but does have the following requirements:

• Graduate families need to be Homemade News subscribers

• Parent(s) or guardian(s) of the graduate will present their school’s diploma

• The graduate needs to have been homeschooled, at least, his entire senior year. Homeschooling is defined as 50% of the student’s education completed in the home by an individual with a legal relationship to the student. An exception would be allowed for those students enrolled in an institution where they are receiving dual credits

• Graduates and both parents/guardians are required to attend the Friday evening dress rehearsal and the post graduation reception

• Responsibilities of graduating families include: a biography for the program, graduate pictures for a multimedia presentation, a diploma, a senior table display, a commercial unaltered matching cap and gown (with tassel), and four dozen homemade cookies for the reception. (Specific details of the above will be given at the informational meeting.)

• Graduates MUST meet the stated deadline of April 1, 2012, for submission of all necessary requirements and information. IF you miss this deadline and still wish to participate in the FWAHS commencement, there will be a $100 late charge payable upon delivery of the completed and required submissions up until April 15, 2012.

Questions can be directed to Tim and Sandie Paden at graduation@fwahs.org.
