Our History

Our Beginning 

Legacy Academy was established in 2005 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a ministry of Legacy Church. With a vision to provide a Christ-centered education, the school started by serving preschool through 8th grade. Rooted in Biblical principles, Legacy Academy quickly became a trusted partner for families seeking academic excellence combined with spiritual formation.

Growth and Excellence 

Over the years, Legacy Academy expanded to meet the needs of its growing community. By the 2020-2021 academic year, the academy proudly offered programs from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Accredited and recognized for its challenging curriculum, the school integrates a Biblical worldview into all subjects, fostering a disciplined and nurturing environment where students excel academically and spiritually. Legacy academy equips students with the skills, faith, and character need to make a meaningful impact. As an extension of Legacy Church’s mission, Legacy Academy remains committed to developing future leaders who are prepared to serve their communities and fulfill their God-given purpose.


"We are especially grateful for Legacy Academy’s alignment with the values of Legacy Church. The sense of safety, strong faith foundation, and nurturing environment has made this school an integral part of our family’s life."

Amanda T.

"What stood out about Legacy Academy was its well-structured and concise curriculum. It provides exactly what students need to excel and prepare for the next grade level, setting a strong foundation for academic success."

Alba A.

"As parents of four children who all attend Legacy Academy, our journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Our oldest child has been at Legacy for seven years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the role this school has played in their lives."

Bryan P.

"Our family has been part of Legacy Academy for 5 years, starting during the COVID shutdown. The experience has been life-changing for our kids—better for their lives and truly fulfilling. The Christ-centered values at Legacy Academy matter deeply to our family, as each subject connects to Biblical principles, shaping our kids both academically and spiritually."

Victor S.

"Jessie thrived at Legacy Academy, becoming a valedictorian and excelling in college. She loved her school experience. My son Anthony has grown up at Legacy Academy, and it has shaped his life. He loves his school, teachers, classmates, and even seeing his principal worship God on stage."

Mel M.

"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."

Joshua B.

"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."
