There is no diploma issued by the public school system in Florida for the completion of a home education program.

A signed affidavit of completion (notarized letter) submitted by the student’s parent attesting that the student has completed a home education program, pursuant to the requirements of s.1002.41, FS is the legal document of completion.

As stated in s.1007 263(2)(a), it is equivalent to a high school diploma and is regularly accepted by state colleges and universities as proof of high school completion. This statement can be included on a student’s academic transcript or parent-issued diploma.

While not required, some students elect to culminate their home education program by taking the General Educational Development (GED) test. A student is issued a diploma from the Department of Education upon passing the test. The toll-free number for information about GED is 1-800-237-5113.
