Celebrate the Class of 2027!

May 14, 2027, 6:30pm* | College Church of the Nazarene | Olathe, KS

*The Prelude Performed by Class Musicians begins at 6pm.

MPE’s ceremony is designed as a public display of the gratitude of the graduates and their parents for being given the privilege of homeschooling. It is also to demonstrate the thankfulness of the graduates for their parents, as well as other relatives and friends, who were used by God to shape the lives and character of those graduates for future service to the Master.

When: Friday, May 14, 2027, at 6:30 p.m. (Prelude starts at 6:30 p.m.)

Where: College Church of the Nazarene at 2020 E Sheridan St, Olathe, KS 66062

Monthly Meetings: Each graduate helps shape the ceremony by participating in a committee. The class has meetings on the second Monday of each month (September through November, January through April). Meetings are at Garrett Chapel, College Church of the Nazarene, 2020 E Sheridan St., Olathe, KS 66062. All meetings are led by the MPE Graduation Coordinator and the MPE Board Graduation Chair.

Requirements: There are specific requirements for eligibility, committee participation, and standards to follow in order to participate. These requirements are explained in full in the contract. They will also be explained in full at the September graduation meeting.

Payment: The Graduation fee is $225 and is due by the November meeting (after this meeting the fee increases to $250). This fee covers the cap and gown, diploma, decorations, refreshments, professional photography (group), and supplies for the Ceremony.

Contract and payment are due at the November meeting (e.g. Nov. 9, 2026).  No refunds will be issued after the November meeting. Graduates can join up through December 31 at the rate of $250.
