STUDENT FOCUSED
Building Biblically-Grounded Relationships A t Legacy, being student-focused means understanding and supporting the unique spiritual, social, and emotional needs of each student at every stage. To address this reality, the Elementary Student Life Coordinator and Counselor, Allyson Mancuso, designed the BGR curriculum, which stands for Biblically-Grounded Relationships, with the hopes of students discovering how God has designed them to be in community. Through carefully crafted lessons on communication and emotions, students learn to build relationships that reflect God’s love, laying the groundwork for deeper connections. In middle school, biblically-grounded relationships require time and intentionality, so their schedule was developed to include an Advisory block where students rotate through participating in competitive and fun community building activities and clubs, practicing relationship skills, asking big questions and hearing biblical responses, and even developing academic study skills throughout the week. High school took on a week intensive of closely examining their digital habits during the 2023-24 school year, a relevant area that impacts every student socially and emotionally. In both large group and small group discussions, students were challenged to think critically about the positive and negative effects of media and consider the Christian’s response while engaging with the world. At its core, Legacy desires students to experience the value of biblically-grounded tools for engaging with one another in community—tools that are both relevant and practical, whether in Kindergarten or their senior year of high school.
