Commencement Ceremony & Reception

Held each year on the second Saturday in June at our campus in Ann Arbor

Clonlara's ceremony is a personal and heartwarming celebration. When receiving their diploma, graduates and their families are encouraged to share their reflections on home education.

Students have recited poetry, sung, played music, done aerobics on stage, and even ridden a horse up to the podium to receive the diploma. Join us!
