Graduation party?

21 years ago

My son has completed his Sixth form at an Indepenjdent school in the UK (AS and A2) and as anyone who lives here knows, it requires a big adjustment and more work than graduating from a U.S. High School.

Since June is full of Graduation parties in the U.S., I would like to at least send out Graduation announcements to family and friends there, but am not sure not sure how to approach it or word it since people back home don't understand what A levels are. Has anyone else encountered this? Most U.S. Universities acknowledge his A Level courses as college level credit and I am proud of how well he has done. There should be celebrations for completing A Levels here but I haven't heard of any. Any ideas?
