his is a great resource for homeschoolers, unschoolers and those of us whose homeschool falls into the ecclectic category or anyone really looking for a way to provide transcripts for your kids year to year...anyway don't overlook it as a valuable resource because they welcome unschoolers and you do not consider yourself to be unschooling!

West River Academy is a fully accredited independent private school in California, with a location in Colorado, designed for families who desire the benefits of private school enrollment but minimal oversight over their educational activities. Families may follow the curriculum and/or learning style of their choice, or may receive assistance from us in designing or choosing a program that fits their needs.

The benefits of enrolling students in West River Academy are:

* You will not need to notify your local school district of your educational program. (This applies to most states; check your state laws.)
* You will not be required by West River Academy to test or evaluate at the end of the school year. Instead, you are asked to submit a year-end report on your student's activities, studies and progress over the year.
* You will pay only for the services you require.
* Students can receive official private school transcripts with grade promotion for use in entering a different school.
* Students can receive a high school diploma from a fully accredited private high school.
* Students' previous school records will be obtained and retained by West River Academy while they are enrolled in the Academy.
