Legacy students will participate in standardized testing the week of May 1. Lower-level students (K-6) will test on Tuesday-Thursday while upper-level students (7-10) will test on Wednesday-Thursday. Please note that this test is only one tool used to measure your child's academic progress. While we encourage every student to do their best, we also take into consideration classroom performance and mastery of the curriculum when measuring academic achievement. A few tips to remember for the testing week:

  • Students should sleep well and eat a healthy breakfast.

  • Arrive at school on time. Testing will begin promptly at 8:00.

  • Students will need sharpened number 2 pencils.

Lost & Found

We are Hiring

Spread the word. We are hiring!

As a Christian school, Legacy Academy is seeking applicants who are dedicated to the Christian faith and the pursuit of a Christ-centered life. Christian education is a ministry and applicants should recognize the importance of Christian education for children. Applicants should live a life that aligns with Biblical principles and values and be active members of their church.
