Sometimes even the brightest kids need a little help (And, sometimes, the brightest parents need help, too! Did homework get harder since we were kids?).

Individualized Instruction at Legacy Christian Academy

Big ideas are like children - they need to be properly fed and nurtured if they are to grow healthy and mature. At Legacy, the dedicated teachers and administrators know that even the littlest people can have big ideas. That's why Legacy's small-group instructional model is so special. Based on "center rotations," with groups of eight students learning either with their teacher or teaching assistant, or at their desks for independent work, center rotations allow for increased opportunities for more-individualized teaching time. Legacy children are encouraged and provided the resources to think deeply about the world around them and this small-group instruction model ensures that those "big ideas" are cultivated and cared for, just like the little students who came up with them in the first place.
