THR VE A GUIDE TO LIFE AT LEGACY FOR CURRENT & NEW FAMILIES 2025-2026 SCHOOL YEAR

WELCOME TO LEGACY

KEVIN MOSLEY HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear Fellow Eagles, Welcome to the ‘25 - ‘26 school year at Legacy Christian Academy!

Each new school year brings a fresh start, a blank page filled with possibilities. As we move forward after celebrating our 25th anniversary and open the doors to a new school year, I’m reminded of God’s promise in Isaiah 43:19: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” At Legacy, we believe that every school year is an opportunity to witness God at work in our classrooms, on our fields and stages, and most importantly, in the hearts of our students.

Whether you are returning or just beginning your journey with us, know this: you are stepping into a community committed to nurturing Christ-centered relationships and pursuing excellence in all things. We count it a great privilege to partner with you in the discipleship and development of your children.

Legacy is more than a school; it's a launching ground for Kingdom leaders. We desire to walk alongside your family as we help students grow in wisdom, deepen their faith, and discover God’s unique calling on their lives. From Pre-K through 12th grade, our mission is rooted in preparing students not only for college but also for a life of impact that lasts for eternity.

To support your journey, we’ve created this reference guide filled with helpful information about life at Legacy. We pray it equips your family to engage fully and thrive in the months ahead. Please keep an eye out for continued updates and resources throughout the summer as we gear up for a strong start.

As we step into the next 25 years, may we do so with expectation, knowing that God has gone before us and will continue to be faithful in every step to come.

Strong Leaders. Biblical Convictions.

Kevin Mosley Head of School

“LEGACY IS MORE THAN A SCHOOL; IT'S A LAUNCHING GROUND FOR KINGDOM LEADERS.”

UPPER SCHOOL GRADES 9 -12

Student Leadership/Organizations/Co-Curricular Clubs: National Honor Society, International Thespian Society, Spanish Club, International Spanish Honor Society, Creative Writing, Bridge Builders, Esports, Robotics, Green Club, Honor Council, and Principal’s Advisory Council are a few unique student opportunities.

Advisory: Students also meet in same-gender advisory groups to discuss relevant topics and grow in character and leadership. The advisory groups serve as a connection to a smaller group of 12-14 students within our school. These activities are vital to fulfilling the mission of LCA. Advisors are assigned within the first semester of a student’s Freshman year and remain assigned to students throughout their high school experience.

UPPER SCHOOL GRADES 9 -12

Grading Grades are easily accessed through Schoology, and end-ofsemester report cards are released through the FACTS parent portal.

Two Categories of grades: Minor Assessments (T2) - 40%; Major Assessments (T1) - 60% Students can receive credit for evidence of increased mastery for Tier 1 (major) grades below 80 percent for a maximum score of up to 80 percent. Students scoring an 80 or above on the original major grade will not be able to reassess for a higher grade and exclude middle/end-of-year assessments. Grades are based on semesters—one in the Spring and one in the Fall. For more on academics and courses
