Certificates

Look on your favorite office supply website.
Put "certificate paper" in the search engines on the site. Search for an 81/2 x 11" diploma frame, too. Also, look for "embossers" and "seals" to make an official-looking seal on your document.

Diploma Quest(ion)
It's so easy to get hung up on the whole issue of a high school diploma. The main purpose of a diploma is to document a specific program of study that has been completed at an educational institution. By Barb Shelton.

What About High School Diplomas?
Here is the simple answer - Your own diploma! You can get a GED if you like, or you can use a cover school that offers diplomas, or - Create your own! The important thing is not the diploma, it is the transcript.

Edu-speak

Edu-speak, the dictionary
Need to translate ordinary activities into something that an educator can understand? Study this vocabulary list, and you'll be able to explain to any school administrator what you are doing, even if you unschool!

Elective Course Descriptions
To help you prepare your child's high school transcript, here is a list of elective course descriptions used by a local public school. Generally, public schools and colleges will not accept these courses as meeting the requirements of high school math, science, history, and English but they can be used as credits for electives.

Mary Baldwin College recognizes homeschool transcripts under parental authorization. Umbrella school and correspondence school transcripts are also accepted.

I'm not sure this one would impress an admissions officer, as there are no course descriptions and numerical based "grades." Why not just give the teen straight A's and be done with it?
