Purpose
Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy exists to cultivate parental involvement in the educational process of their children, to instill students with a biblical worldview so they can boldly articulate and defend their faith, to guide them into independent learning, to prepare them for the rigors of college, and to train them in life to always give themselves fully to the work of the Lord, confidently answering, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8
Mission statement
We work in partnership with parents to educate and train students to be character witnesses of Christ.
Statement of faith
There is one book of truth: The Bible, God's written revelation to man, authoritative, reliable, and inerrant, without the need of any other document to complete its message.(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
There is one way of salvation: Faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God, who lived as a man, died for the sins of all men, and was resurrected so that all who believe in their hearts and confess Jesus as Lord with their mouths will be saved.(John 14:6)
There is one Sovereign God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; John 1:1; John 1:14)
There is one body: The church, with its many parts acting in unison.(Romans 12:10; 1 John 4:7-11)

History
Founded in 2005, Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy is a University-Model, private Christian school comprised of grades Pre-K through 12th. A University Model school is a five-day academic program with students spending 2-3 days in the central classroom and 2-3 days in their "satellite classroom" at home. Parents play a critical role in our mission because they have a God-given responsibility to shepherd their children to know Christ and to obey His commandments. Through our schedule, parents work in partnership with teachers to impart those Christian values to their children.
There are many benefits to the university model but the biggest blessing is the gift of more time with your child. Parents use these moments to train their children to live as responsible Kingdom citizens. And because we emphasize discipleship, our partnership works alongside parents to train young adults who are willing, equipped, and bold in their faith.
A second benefit is our academically rigorous college preparatory curriculum, which prepares your child to be successful in college through the development of critical thinking skills, time management, recognition of worldviews, and discipline. Finally, we strive to teach students how to defend their faith, understanding what they believe and why they believe it.
Our utmost desire at Legacy is to inspire our students to become willing vessels for Christ. Our passion is to equip our students with a biblical worldview that fosters effectiveness for the present need of Christ, and preparedness for His imminent return. But the ultimate goal is that of producingwholesome,competentmen and women ofcharacterwho make a positive difference forChristin the next generation.
