Founder's Note--May 2026

Dear Legacy Academy Families,

As we close our 18th year and celebrate the graduation of our sixth class, my heart overflows with gratitude—to God and to you. What began in 2008 by faith, with only three students, has grown into something truly beautiful. This milestone is not the result of human effort alone, but of God's steadfast faithfulness through every challenge and every triumph. And you—our Legacy families—have been an inseparable part of that story from the very beginning.

We could not do what we do without you. Choosing to entrust us with your children is not a small thing, and we do not take it lightly. You have made a courageous and countercultural decision—to give your children not merely an education, but a foundation. In doing so, you are shaping not just their futures, but eternity. We are deeply honored to partner with you in that sacred work.

This year, as in years past, our students have demonstrated what is possible when rigorous academics are rooted in purpose. We are proud to share that once again our senior class produced students with ACT scores above 30—a testament to the exceptional caliber of learning happening here and to the investment you make in your children every single day. In fact, our average ACT score is 26, this is eight points above the Arkansas state average. Our academics are not simply strong; they are intentional. We teach students not only what to know, but how to think—rigorously, wisely, and through a Biblical lens.

In a world growing increasingly dark and confused, the work of raising good humans—humans of faith, character, and clarity—has never mattered more. At the heart of every parent's calling is this great aim: to raise children who know who they are, who they belong to, and what they are made for. Legacy Academy exists to help you do exactly that. We are committed to leading students toward Christ, laying a deep foundation of biblical faith, and helping them recognize and love the true, good, and beautiful—those transcendent realities that reflect the very nature of our Creator.

Please hear this clearly: you are doing something remarkable. It is not always easy. It requires sacrifice, intention, and faith. But you are giving your children the very best—not just academically, but spiritually and morally. You are partnering with us to build young men and women of substance and integrity, and that investment will bear fruit for generations. As we listened to our graduates salute their parents for having them at Legacy Academy, I thought of each of you. We see your faithfulness, your prayers, your support, and your trust. We pray for you and stand with you!

*"Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."*

— Colossians 3:23–24

Be encouraged! The Lord who called us—all of us, as parents, educators, and co-laborers in this mission—is faithful. He has built this house. He will continue to sustain it as we remain faithful to Him. What a privilege it is to walk this road together. Our students have tons of fun, lots of special days, competitive athletics, rigorous academics, devoted teachers,--all in a faith-centered environment.

Thank you for choosing Legacy Academy. Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your belief in what we are building together. We are grateful beyond words, and we look forward to another year of doing this great work alongside you. Please take some time to help spread the good news about Legacy Academy to your friends, family, and anyone you know who will also benefit from our special place! Have a wonderful, restful summer with your families.

In Christ,

Chad
