How do you celebrate learning milestones without grades or report cards?

Portfolio reviews twice a year. We look back at early work together - the child sees their own progress concretely.

Skill celebrations: when our son mastered long division, we had a special dinner with his favourite meal.

Completion certificates made by the child for themselves - decorated, dated, framed. Our daughter has twelve on her wall.

Expert status. When a child has mastered a topic, they teach it to someone. Teaching is the truest celebration of knowledge.
