School Notes:

Legacy is committed to the following principles to ensure that the vision of the school is implemented: We are a Christian school rooted in the Word of God. We acknowledge God as the source and author of all truth. We aim to teach the Scriptures of both the Old and New Testaments so students realize that the meaning and purpose of life and education are found in them and that they speak authoritatively. Parents are regarded as their children�s first and best teachers. Legacy operates under the authority of parents who have permitted the school to assist in the education of their children. As a school, we understand the idea of loco parentis (in place of the parents). During the school day, we are serving temporarily in the place of the parents. Classical education stresses unity of knowledge rather than the current philosophy of compartmentalization of educational disciplines. All subjects are taught as part of an integrated whole with Christ at the center. Absolute divisions do not exist between science, religion, math, the arts, history, and literature. God created all things for His glory. God is behind them all revealing truth to men through His creation (Rom. 1:20; Ps. 19:1). History has a purpose and a goal. To understand the events of our world and to empower students to influence our culture, we study western civilization with all its triumphs and failures. Literature, music and art record the culture�s understanding of truth, goodness, and beauty. Latin trains the students in the essential of the scientific method - observation, comparison, and generalization. About eighty percent of English vocabulary comes from Latin and Greek. Science and mathematics are tangible evidence of God�s orderliness. We are free to explore creation and to wonder at the facets that remain mysteries. We aim to graduate young men and women who think clearly and listen carefully with discernment and understanding, who discover truth, who reason persuasively, and articulate precisely; graduates who are capable of evaluating their entire range of experience in the light of the Scriptures, and who do so with eagerness in joyful submission to God. We desire they be socially graceful and spiritually gracious, equipped with and understanding the tools of learning, desiring to grow in understanding, yet fully realizing the limitations and foolishness of the wisdom of this world. We desire they have a heart for the lost and the courage to seek to dissuade those who are stumbling toward destruction, that they distinguish truth from error, and that they know and love the Lord Jesus Christ.
