Admissions Overview

Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy ("LPCA") makes available individual courses for parents to select for their children, and only those children accepted for admission may register for the courses offered. Each student who registers for courses at LPCA will have a transcript on file with the school, and a copy of this transcript will be made available to the student's parents upon request.

Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy is accountable only for the courses selected and attempted at LPCA. Any course instruction received at other schools or instruction provided through home education is the responsibility of the parent. Transfer of credit to LPCA for any such instruction may be granted if in accordance to LPCA's policies concerning credit transfer.

Required Statement of Parent Responsibility

In enrolling one or more of our children in Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy, a school which affirms the comprehensive responsibility of parents for the education of their children, we acknowledge and accept primary responsibility of our children's behavior at school and their student supervision at home. We also acknowledge that we are responsible to be familiar with and consult the policies of the school as published in the current catalogue and other official means of communication, such as monthly newsletters, before making decisions affecting our child(ren)'s or our family's relationship with Legacy Preparatory Christian Academy. We further agree that should difficulties arise from our failure to be familiar with or consult published school policies (including, for example, the school refund policy, as stated in the school catalogue under "Financial Policies") when making decisions affecting our relationship or our child(ren)'s relationship with the school, we will accept full responsibility for the results of our decisions. In addition, we agree to attend parent meetings (possibly 1-4 meetings during the school year) that are intended to help parents better understand their role in a university-model school, and we agree to meet the parent requirements associated with the current parent/student handbook policies.
