WE WANT YOU TO JOIN OUR TEAM!
At Legacy Christian Academy, our mission is to provide our students with an exceptional
God-centered education and to connect with families united in a commitment to the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We feel called to carry out the Good News for current and future generations, and we want to use our spiritual gifts to serve others as faithful stewards of God’s grace. Our goal is to teach God’s children to know and love Him with their whole hearts so they can tell the next generation of the greatness of God. And we want you to join us in shaping futures we can be proud to share, while honoring God in all we do.
When you join our team, you become a part of our family! You will be directly supported as we share the challenges and successes we experience every day. Together, united in Christ, we will teach the children in our care that Jesus loves them, and He is their friend. We will encourage them to reach their highest potential by growing spiritually, academically, physically, emotionally and socially. And you will be surprised at how much you in turn will also grow in these same ways!
