Mission of Legacy Christian Academy

Our mission is to reach out to children and their families and offer them the love of Christ.  We desire every child in our program to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and to accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

Philosophy

Learning at LCA is a process of active exploration, stimulation and discovery.  Students are continually encouraged to creatively explore their environment, to learn more about their world, to gain a better understanding of themselves and to learn about each other.  Because of this philosophy, there are certain expectations of students that attend LCA.
