LETTER FROM LEGACY'S HEAD OF SCHOOL
Legacy Christian Academy exists to equip the mind and disciple the heart of each student for Christ-like living. Legacy Christian Academy fulfills its mission through:
Dear Legacy Community,
Time moves quickly year after year here at Legacy, but we are thankful for God’s blessings through it all.
OUR FOUNDATION: CHRIST-CENTERED AND STUDENT FOCUSED
OUR PATH: TRANSFORMATION BY KNOWING, DISCIPLING, AND PREPARING
OUR PURSUIT: EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCES THROUGH RADICAL SERVANTHOOD
We started the 2024-25 school year by opening the 5 th - 12 th grade Engineering Lab, new high school wing, and many expanded elementary classrooms—each a final project in conjunction with the New Academic Building that opened the previous school year. Even now, it’s hard to imagine our learning spaces without these specifically designed classrooms! The 2024-25 school year was also marked by many academic and programmatic milestones. We implemented the Standard Response Protocol to strengthen our crisis management readiness and to better align with the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office, and we completed ACSI re-accreditation. Our staff and teachers engaged in significant biblical worldview training, further equipping them to disciple students. We expanded onsite college credit offerings and added American Sign Language to our high school curriculum. Middle school students gained more elective options, while elementary students benefited from an updated math curriculum and a biblically grounded relationships curriculum. At the 2025 Celebrate Legacy Gala, we revealed one of our most impactful strategic initiatives: purchasing the buildings and 24 acres of the Meadow Creek Church property, and our community gave in overwhelming generosity toward the $9.25M purchase. As we look to the future, this ownership will allow us to live out our core values with even greater intentionality. It’s hard to believe our 5-Year Strategic Plan, Courageous Faith: Magnifying God’s Sovereignty has almost come to a close, and we now turn our attention to planning our next Strategic Plan. Through all of this, who we are remains the same: Legacy Christian Academy exists to equip the mind and disciple the heart of each student for Christ-like living. Our foundation is Christ and our students. Our path is transformation by knowing, discipling, and preparing. Our pursuit is exceptional experiences through radical servanthood. This is our commitment, and we will not change.
