Partnering with parents to disciple college worthy Christ followers for a lifetime of leadership.
Legacy Christian Academy is a covenantal model, dedicated to the discipleship of Christian families and students. As a TK-12 private, Christian, University-Model® School, teachers and parents work together to provide an accessible, Christ-centered education for the next generation of Christ followers.
How we learn.
As a University-Model® school, Legacy Christian Academy takes the most positive aspects from public and private schools, as well as home schools, to give students a highly successful, college-worthy education. TK-12 Students attend classes 2-3 days per week and complete teacher prepared lesson plans in their home classroom. Home Study days are co-teacher led off campus through prepared lesson plans and Biblical worldview curriculum.
Why we utilize the University-Model®
Legacy Christian Academy is a University-Model® School where teachers and parents work together to provide an affordable, Christ-centered education for the next generation.
In 2010, the founding families of LCA envisioned an educational alternative that would allow more time to spiritually train and build relationships with their children while providing a high level of academic excellence in their educational experience. Using the University-Model®, this vision can be accomplished through God’s power, prayer, and the hands and feet of many dedicated individuals.
