POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

LCA has a rolling admissions policy, so applications may be submitted for consideration at any time during the year.  Through the admissions process, Legacy is seeking to enroll those students who desire to receive an excellent, Biblically integrated education. 

Students are accepted upon evidence that they can succeed academically, are of good character, and can contribute in a positive manner to the spirit and morale at LCA.  Legacy can serve children of various academic abilities; however, LCA does not have adequate resources or qualified personnel to accommodate children with exceptional learning, physical, behavior, or emotional issues.

WHY Legacy?

• 93% of all Legacy graduates attend college
• Class of 2010 has a 100% acceptance rate into college
• The average score on the SAT (math and critical reading) is 1040.
• We provide a safe and family like environment with small class sizes that average 10:1 student/teacher ratio.
• Over 90% of the student body participates in extracurricular activities that include:  athletics, drama, student government, National Honor Society, Fellowship of Christian Athletics, Ensemble, Chess Club, Key Club, cheerleading etc.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT SHADOWING

Shadowing is optional, but provides a prospective student a chance to observe classes and student life close up for a half or full day.  Prospective students are paired with a Legacy student of the same gender who shares some similar academic and/or extracurricular interests. 

Shadowing takes place throughout the entire school year, Monday-Friday.  Even though any school day is an option, we strongly recommend choosing a Wednesday so your son/daughter can experience our weekly chapel service.
