Seton Graduation 2025
May 31, 2025Seton will hold a graduation ceremony on May 31, 2025, at Skyline High School in Front Royal, Virginia. In conjunction with the physical graduation ceremony, we will also hold a Virtual Graduation.
In order to be eligible to participate in either the in-person or the virtual graduation ceremony, 2025 graduating students must:
- be a 12th grade Seton Home Study School student
- be taking sufficient courses in 12th grade to meet graduation requirements
- have earned at least 15 high school credits (any combination of Seton credits, transfer credits, and independent study)
- have completed, or expect to complete, high school work in the 2025 calendar year; or have completed their high school work on or after June 15, 2024
- be current on any tuition or fees owed to Seton
- register and pay the graduation fee (if applicable) by May 1st, 2025
Note that we have made a few changes to the in-person registration payment this year:
- The base fee for early registration, which is until April 6, is $160 per graduate.
- The base fee for late registration, which is from April 7 until May 1st, is $200 per graduate.
- Graduation registration may be canceled with full refund until May 1st, but no refunds will be available after May 1st.
Note that registration fees mentioned above apply to only the in-person graduation. The virtual graduation is free.
Registration links for both the in-person and the virtual graduation can be found below.
Eligibility
2025 graduates ARE NOT REQUIRED to have completed all courses by the graduation date. Students who have not completed sufficient credits to graduate will receive a participation certificate at the ceremony. A signed diploma will be mailed to the student when studies are completed. In order to register for the graduation, a student must have at least 15 high school credits, from any combination of Seton course credits, transfer credits, and independent study credits. Registrations will not be accepted from students who have fewer than 15 credits. Since the registration deadline is May 1st, students who are a credit or two short of 15 credits should have time to finish up some courses and therefore qualify in time.
In addition to 2025 graduates, students who completed their diploma requirements on or after June 15, 2024 are eligible to attend.
If you are unsure as to your credits or courses, you can go to your MySeton page www.setonhome.org/myseton then choose the Courses tab and then click on the “View cumulative high school grade report” icon. If you have further questions on courses or credits please contact Bob Wiesner at 540-622-8478 or BWiesner@setonhome.org.
Costs and Attendance for the In-Person Graduation
The base graduation fee is $160 until April 6th, and then increases to $200 per graduate from April 7th until May 1st. This includes the graduate plus four guests. To keep the base fee low, and to try to be as fair to everyone as possible, we have instituted a $25 per-guest fee for more than four guests. Children under 6 years of age are free.
The maximum attendees per graduate is the graduate plus 16 guests. Extra guests may be allowed if space permits.
Families who register for the graduation will be contacted with further information.
If you register and then find you cannot attend, a full refund of any fees paid will be available until May 1st. No refund will be available after May 1st.
To register for the in-person graduation, please return the 2025 graduation form, or register online at: https://www.setonhome.org/grad2025/register.php

Virtual Graduation
For those who cannot attend the in-person graduation in Virginia, we will announce the names and show a photo of each virtual graduate as part of the livestream of the event. There is no fee for participating in the virtual graduation, but the requirements for participation (deadline, credits, etc.) are otherwise the same as for the in-person graduation.
To participate in the virtual graduation, please register online at: https://www.setonhome.org/student-life/virtual-graduation-application-2025/
Remember, the deadline for both the in-person and virtual graduation is May 1, 2025.
