Peggy was interviewed by a worldschooler mom, Lizz Quain, and she wrote the following on her Youtube Channel:

Peggy Webb is the founder of West River Academy, an “umbrella school” which many homeschoolers, unschoolers and worldschoolers, in over 50 countries, have used since the late 1990s to convert their learning into courses with credits and grades. They offer annual enrollment, official transcripts, and high school graduation from an accredited private school. This conversation is part of my new interview series with worldschooling veterans, families and service providers (schools, worldschool hub leaders, travel insurance CEOs etc.). There will usually be Facebook Lives in my Facebook group   / trailblazingfamilies   on Tuesdays and/or Wednesdays. Please join us there so you can participate in future FB lives. Replays will be posted on this Youtube channel.
