What is National Commencement?
Formerly known as Graduation or Capstone Celebration, National Commencement recognizes the completion of the homeschool journey of our Classical Conversations® students and their parents. Presented by the Classical Conversations Foundation*, this is an opportunity few homeschoolers get—to celebrate their achievements with their peers in a formal graduation ceremony!
Classical Conversations’ founder, Leigh Bortins, will address and commend graduates and parents for their hard work and perseverance through their years of homeschooling.
Leigh Bortins
