CTC facilitates a graduation ceremony for home schooled students in which parents present a graduation certificate to their students. CTC does not keep records of students' grades or classes attended. Students are not graduating from CTC. CTC offers tutoring for individual classes as needed by our families and is not designed as a full high school program. Therefore, our corporate name cannot appear on graduation certificates, programs, memory books, videos or other materials developed for the graduation families.
If you are interested in participating in the graduation ceremony and you attend CTC, your family will be required to meet your CTC service hours before graduation, serve on graduation committees, attend monthly meetings, and pay for required elements and extras approved by the majority of participating families. Please note that hours worked on graduation do not count toward meeting the 3 hours per enrolled class (maximum of 9 hours per family) of volunteer service required per family.
