"Legacy Academy reflects the same loving values parents teach at home. The staff is helpful and caring, making our experience as parents nothing but great. Our daughters are learning more in-depth subjects than they would in public school, including the true history of America, while also understanding that God’s hand is in every aspect of life."

"We chose Legacy because we believe a Christian education is essential for the spiritual and educational formation of our children. We wanted to avoid secular influences that could undermine their faith during these formative years. Our children have had an incredible experience. Legacy has become an all-in-one solution for their church and school life, reinforcing both. They are happy, engaged, and excited to attend. They’re learning vital truths about God and His creation, and they are surrounded by friends and teachers who share our faith and values."
