We've been at Legacy Academy for 4 years and have had a great experience in this school. I searched for a school that had solid academics, a strong community, and, most importantly, a strong faith base but still had a good amount of extracurricular activities. It's not easy to find a school that does well in all of those areas (at least one area will usually fall short- believe me), but I finally found it! My kids are thriving in this school and I am so happy I made the move.

Amazing school that really instills the Word of God into the students. My children have attended here since they began school, and there is know other place I would consider having them. I love the teachers and staff of Legacy Academy and appreciate all they do for my children. I highly recommend enrolling your child!
