More from Legacy families
“My daughter has stopped getting upset when she doesn't understand something - she has started replacing it with "I don't understand it YET!" She has stopped getting upset when she makes mistakes and instead she reminds herself that mistakes are a part of learning.”
“My child's confidence has grown tremendously — academically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
“There isn't a single doubt in my mind that my child is anything but safe and loved at Legacy.”
“Attending Legacy is one of the greatest gifts we could give our children. They are growing into such enthusiastic, passionate learners and are thriving as responsible leaders within our community. It’s such a blessing for the kids that they are bummed when there’s no campus day! It is such a peaceful, joyful learning environment- I truly wish I could have gone as a kid!”
“I love (my daughter’s) instructor - she is spiritually in tune, authentic, and has a very high level of academic excellence. She genuinely loves my daughter.”
“Legacy partners with parents in a way we've never experienced before — we feel supported, seen, and aligned.”
“Excited to see and be a part of what God is doing at Legacy! (My daughter) was super excited after her first day, she couldn’t wait to go back! Thank you… for stepping out in faith and building a beautiful place for our kids to grow and build a healthy community! Glory to God!”

Thank You!
Our vision has never been simply to build another academic option. It's to raise a generation of young people who know they are loved, discover their God-given purpose, and develop the confidence, character, and competence to make a meaningful difference in the world.
Your generosity is doing far more than supporting an academy. You're investing in children, strengthening families, and raising a generation of young leaders who know who they are and are equipped to make a difference.
Thank you for believing in these children, investing in their futures, and helping us build a legacy that will impact generations.
We're so grateful to be building this legacy together!
With heartfelt gratitude,
Kate & The Legacy Academy Team
P.S. Our $50,000 matching gift is already committed. Will you help us meet the challenge by Giving Tuesday and reach $100,000 in collective generosity?
