School Reviews

Legacy Christian Academy is an amazing school. My children attended for two years until we had to move out of state. We all cried! My daughter, who hates school, was excited to go to Legacy daily because the teachers were not only excellent but made learning fun. And the students who attend are all wonderful kids. Friendly, warm, and supportive. My kids loved all of the friends they made. I loved the partnership the school had with the parents, which is incredibly important. The staff at the school goes out of their way to help families. They also provide incredible enrichment and elective courses for students, which makes a world of difference. Both my children excelled at this school, and we as a family miss it very much. Best Christian Private school in the area. I highly recommend it.
