Legacy Christian Academy

"Honestly this school is amazing. As a student that is currently going to this school it is really good for learning for those that are good at working alone. We work in cubicles like an actual office, the school runs off a curriculum called A.C.E. Where the kids work in booklets that teach the students how to do the specific subject. The core subjects are Math, Science, English, and Social Studies. But we have extra books for, how I would describe them as, "electives" including Word Building, Speech, Health, and Literature and Creative writing. The school's teachers are at most times ready to help any student in need of extra help to understand a subject. My teacher, Mr. Ethan, is honestly really calm. The subject I struggle with is Math and he does help me with it a lot, sometimes the explanations can be a bit confusing but in the end it's understandable. The only bad things that I can say about the school is closer to the end of the day the teachers get pretty relaxed and can be a bit slow to answer questions or help but they keep the flow going. When they answer or help the students. If students do really well in tests we get in school money called "Merit bucks" The money is obviously fake and can't be confused for counterfeit money. we have a fun Friday every three weeks ran by a student council consisting of a highschool representative, middle school representative, president, and vice president. Each student gets a certain amount of time to get in trouble. When a student gets in trouble the student gets these things called "Demerits" If a student gets 10 Demerits they get a lunch school suspension. If a student gets 15 they get a in school suspension, 20 they get an out of school suspension, and 30 or higher -if I remember correctly- The get expelled. Dress code is pretty strict with having males wear pants or shorts not going above the knee and school polos and for women they can wear pants, shorts, or skirts all not going above the knee. The principal is chill but strict. He's like a father-like figure. The school is on campus with a foster care system. The teachers do care a lot more about how a student does in the school more than paychecks unlike public schools I've been to. This is an incredible Christian school that teaches morals and the word of God. I would suggest to my public school friends possibly talking to their parents about transferring their kids to the school. the grades are from Kindergarten to 12th grade."

"(Not sure if my first review posted) I have to give it a 2 and 1/2 I went there in 2020 and maybe it's because I lived on campus as a foster kid , but it was good and bad in its own ways , as living on campus and the sharps owning it the drama that happened on campus offen got brought to class , and it was isolated and a strange work environment I also think working at your own pace is good but some kids need a teacher that teaches not just sits , on the good side I do like how there is breaks ever 3 or 4 pace books , and they sometimes have fun Friday, but I don't like how if one kid gets in trouble it's on the whole class , I could go on both good and bad but I'll leave it at this ."

"This is a cult. The “teachers” are unlicensed. The organization is run by one family that has way too much unchecked power with many volunerable minors. The students work in silence, isolated booths at pre-packaged worksheets. Therefore they are essential supposed to teach themselves, this does not provide support to students with disabilities. Once students get into advanced curriculum the teachers do not know how to help them with their work because they do not possess the correct qualifications. The A.C.E curriculum is based singularly on the use of rote memorization and not actual knowledge building. The concepts are not taught congruently but all over the place. For instance a student might be subtraction and the other multiplication with no prior skills leading up to it. The curriculum is out dated and does not help students learn what they need to succeed in an actually academic rigorous environment. The A.C.E curriculum is from an extremely fundamentalist organization in which women do not have equal rights to men. The school share in the belief and this is most evident in their treatment of the girls dress code and teachings of morality. The morality teachings focus on obeying authority. Though this curriculum is alarming the most alarming part is the leadership of this school. As mentioned above the school and the organization behind the school is run by one singular family. This family has unchecked authority over the school. The head of the organization paid for his on to get his masters (using the organizations funding of course) so that he could make him the principal of the school. Which if you are curious is the definition of nepotism. The organization behind the school has run off qualified and masterful teachers because those teachers have questioned the authority of the leadership. In summation DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ORGANIZATION WITH YOUR MONEY OR TRUST THEN WITH YOUR CHILDREN."

"I personally found the educational system great for learning to be independent with studying and getting things done on my own. I loved all my teachers very much. They showed impartiality and knew how to explain things in a way I could easily understand. If your a person who likes learning and working with set goals this is the school for you!"

"Great people! Some of these kids really haven't had a fair "shake" at life and this school gives them a place where they can receive an education and also find a mentor. They really seem to care about all the children that come through the doors. My children go here and I can tell you, this school not only gives encouragement, they truly believe that all are worthy."
