West River Academy

About this program

West River Academy is an accredited American private school founded in 1993, offering distance learning programs for families who want educational freedom. With the motto "Freedom starts here," the school helps families turn life experiences into academic credit, allowing children to pursue their passions, travel, and learn naturally. Since its founding by Director Peggy Webb, the academy has served over 10,000 students in more than 50 countries. The school provides a means by which natural learning can be converted to courses with credits and grades, offering annual enrollment, official transcripts, and high school graduation from an accredited institution. West River Academy believes that every child has an innate life purpose and must be free to explore it. The school supports families who feel that traditional education doesn't allow students to pursue their passions or can leave them feeling bored, anxious, or stressed. Parents maintain full ownership of their children's educational decisions.
