Legacy Academy's primary instructional foundation is on the Bob Jones curriculum. Supplemental material is used as needed. We believe building a solid educational foundation while teaching the Bible is best. The curriculum integrates a Biblical foundation while providing a traditional education for students to learn necessary skills that are vital to further their education. Bible class is held daily for all grades. Bible is taught using the Bob Jones curriculum and supplemental materials as needed. Legacy Academy uses the New Living Translation version of the Bible as the standard throughout all grades. Although teachers may use other versions to emphasize learning, it is essential to have a consistent version in classrooms for standardized class memorization and grading purposes.
Legacy Academy is accredited by the Association of Christian Teachers and Schools (ACTS). ACTS provides educational standards that Legacy Academy is required to fulfill in order to provide a quality education for your child.
