Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy is a Private Christian School that works on a University Model Schedule. This means that students attend classes 2 - 3 days per week, depending on their age, and complete school work at home on their off-campus days. Our curriculum is college preparatory, with all classes taught at an honors pace. This model requires strong parental involvement on the days that studetns are not physically on campus.
University Model Schooling (UMS) is a new educational alternative that, until now, has not been among the typical choices available to parents. Though off campus parental roles are clearly defined and required in the model, UMS should NOT be equated with home schooling or home schooling cooperatives. Nor should UMS be understood as traditional classroom education that has simply reduced classroom time. Its significance lies in its ability to effectively utilize parents in partnership with highly qualified professional instructors to gain better academic results, especially among average students. This partnership is facilitated by using a university-type schedule, administrative system, and strong work ethic in age-appropriate ways for elementary through high school grades. The result is an excellent, well rounded education with less time in school, less cost for families, increased opportunities for positive parent/child interaction, and improved order and discipline in the classroom. It also results in the successful transition of students directly into college with minimal “culture shock’ since they have already experienced a college simulated work environment at the high school level.
The immediate goal is quality, cost-effective, college-preparatory education accomplished in a way that gives parents more time for imparting the faith and values they hold precious. The ULTIMATE goal is that of producing wholesome, competent men and women of character who make a positive difference in the next generation.
