Homeschool Diploma Template
In most US states a homeschool diploma is issued by the parent acting as school administrator. Use the name your homeschool is registered or known under, the city and state, the graduation date and the signatures of both parents or instructors. Keep a transcript alongside it; colleges and employers usually ask for the transcript, not the diploma.
