Partnering with parents to prepare character-witnesses of Christ
Only the Holy Spirit can truly accomplish what we are aiming for – students who grow up to glorify God with their lives. Legacy’s vision for what it means to be a “Lion” is captured in our Portrait of a Graduate, outlined below. These guiding principles shape our curriculum, influence our hiring, and direct our daily interactions with students. We are honored to partner with parents who share this mission.
We aspire to create students who are LIONS:
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
Legacy prepares students to become strong Christian leaders through academic excellence and a biblical worldview.
Students are equipped to impact the world by sharing the gospel, boldly and unashamedly
Thank you for your interest in Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy. Legacy is a special community with loving, caring staff and faculty who understand the importance of the parent-teacher partnership in the development of a student’s biblical worldview. Through this partnership and the university-model, we believe our students will have the confidence to share the love of Christ with those they meet.
Early in the development of Legacy, God impressed upon me His ultimate goal for our school through Isaiah 6:8. The prophet Isaiah had a vision in which he hears the Lord ask, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” Without even knowing the details, Isaiah passionately answers, “Here am I. Send me!” It is this boldness we hope to instill in our graduates because the world is in desperate need of the love of our risen Savior, Jesus Christ.
As you discover the heart and ways of Legacy through this website or speaking with current Legacy families, our prayer is that you and your student would ultimately discover the heart and ways of Christ.

Head of School
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 producing wholesome, competent men and women of character who make a positive difference for Christ in the next generation.
