where we’re going The Legacy community has seen God bless our planning and praying for missional growth: growth that enhances our mission, protects our commitment to biblical truth, is financially wise, preserves our Christian community, maintains the opportunity for students to be known, and enhances student opportunities. We have seen and will continue to witness missional growth in many areas including enrollment, facility expansion, extracurricular offerings, financial stability, academic programming, student support, and student experiences. The Board believes Legacy can accomplish its mission and serve its students and staff best by being a three section per grade school of roughly 1,000 students. Legacy is fiscally sound, maintaining responsible business practices and generating balanced and conservative budgets. The leadership at Legacy recognizes the opportunity to strengthen our financial stability and provide for generational change through the growth of an endowment and a strong philanthropic community. 1. Methodically increase enrollment by 2029-30 to 1,000 students (3 sections per grade) by adding an additional elementary and high school section each year. 2. Make intentional strides towards endowment growth , pursuing a multi-million dollar student scholarship endowment and a Programs of Distinction endowment through designated and planned gifts. 3. Expand, enhance, and elevate student experiences through a growing philanthropic community , a robust Legacy Fund, and school transforming capital campaigns. 4. Follow best practices in our budgeting process and fiscal policies that will maintain the school’s strong financial foundation and systematically make gains in research-proven financial stability markers for private educational institutions. 5. Improve communication and missional impact through use of the Legacy school app for current parents and a redesign of the Legacy website towards prospective parents.
