FAQs

Q:

A:

At Legacy, we offer a range of classes designed to meet students where they are. From foundational homerooms that build essential skills to multi-level courses that foster growth at a personalized pace, our goal is to support each learner’s unique journey.

Additionally, we’ve seen firsthand the benefits of students learning alongside peers of varying ages. Mixed-age classrooms often create a more dynamic and enriched learning environment where leadership skills flourish and collaboration is strengthened. This approach also allows students to be placed in classes that match their individual abilities—whether they need more support or are ready to move ahead—without being limited by traditional grade levels.

Q:

A:

As a homeschool support program, we do not operate under traditional school accreditation because it is not required. Families maintain full control over their children’s education, allowing for greater flexibility, customization, and alignment with their values and goals. This is one of the key freedoms and benefits of homeschooling and one we fully support. Our program is intentionally designed to honor that independence while offering meaningful academic and community support.

Q:

A:

We’re here to come alongside families on their homeschooling journey, offering high-quality resources and a strong sense of community. Because accreditation isn’t required for homeschool programs, families have the freedom to shape an educational path that reflects their unique values and goals. While Legacy is not a traditional school, that’s part of the beauty of homeschooling, parents remain fully in control of their child’s education, with the flexibility to customize learning in a way that best serves their family.

Q:

A:

Legacy is designed to support homeschooling families and does not issue transcripts or grades. While some individual vendors may provide suggested grades for their classes, parents remain the primary educators and are ultimately responsible for grading and record-keeping.

If you are homeschooling through a charter school, your charter will typically provide transcripts and official documentation. If you are homeschooling independently through a private affidavit, there are many helpful resources available (such as the Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA)) to assist with creating transcripts and maintaining academic records.

Q:

A:

Legacy is not a Private Satellite Program (PSP) and does not file paperwork on behalf of families. This gives you the flexibility to choose the path that best fits your homeschooling goals—whether that’s filing independently with the state,  joining a public charter school that supports home education or joining a Private Satellite Program. We’re here to support you with resources and community, whichever option you choose. You can find out more HERE.

Q:

A:

At Legacy, we respect your freedom and do not ask for medical information, as we believe those decisions are private and personal. As a religious nonprofit, we do not require medical documentation. We simply ask that if you or your child/ren are unwell, you make the responsible decision to stay home until you’re feeling better and ready to return, helping us keep our community healthy and thriving.

Q:

A:

Legacy offers a 40-minute meal break for students who are enrolled to stay on campus during this time. Students are welcome to enjoy a lunch brought from home or purchase meals, snacks, and beverages from our on-site Legacy Café.

Q:

A:

While we cannot control what families pack in their lunches, we do ask our vendors to ensure that no nuts are brought out or consumed during class hours in consideration of students with allergies.

Q:

A:

Legacy charges a membership fee each semester, which grants you access to our program and community. The total cost of participation depends on the classes you choose to enroll in and whether you are using charter funds or paying out of pocket. Enrollment is completely flexible–you decide which classes, how many or how few, best meet your family's needs.

Enrichment classes at Legacy are offered by independent vendors who you will pay directly. Legacy itself only manages Study Hall and the Lunch Program, which are included under our direct oversight.

Q:

A:

Our membership fee is fully refundable if you decide not to participate in the program, as long as you notify us by the drop deadline four weeks prior to the start of each semester.

Q:

A:

Each vendor operates as an independent business and may have different payment requirements. Please refer to each course description for specific details. Most vendors require either a submitted enrichment order form from your charter school, full private payment, or the first of four equal monthly payments, typically due on the first of each month. Please note that course costs are charged per semester, not for the full year.

Q:

A:

No, Legacy is a religious non-profit and not a vendor with any charter school. Therefore, membership fees cannot be paid using charter or scholarship funds. However, charter funds may still be used directly with approved vendors for individual classes, depending on your charter's guidelines.

Q:

A:

Charter schools require that their approved vendors offer services without a membership requirement. However, your enrollment in the class will be based upon vendor approval. 

Please note that without membership in our program, access will be limited to just the class itself. This means you won’t have access to our additional program offerings, and supervision outside of the class will be provided by the vendor—not our team.

To help ensure a smooth and safe experience, we kindly ask that you drop off and pick up your child right at the class start and end times. Please note that parents who attend as guests must remain on campus. If you ever decide to become a member, we’d be thrilled to welcome you more fully into our community and all the additional offerings we provide!

Q:

A:

Yes, however, each family is required to commit to a minimum of 12 hours of Parent Participation (PPC) volunteer service per semester.

Q:

A:

All families must commit to a minimum of 12 hours of volunteering per semester (18 hours if participating in both tracks, M/W and T/TH). This is required prior to enrolling students in classes.

Q:

A:

On-campus volunteer roles include front desk support, study hall supervision, hall monitor, lunch monitoring, and campus setup or teardown. Off-campus opportunities range from organizing field trips and planning events to contributing to the yearbook.

Q:

A:

We love when parents stay on campus and connect with our community. Your presence not only builds relationships, but your students also love seeing you around! If you are interested in being in class with your child, please reach out to the vendor directly.

Q:

A:

Class registrations are for a 16-week course. While schedule changes can be made after the semester begins, please note that after the drop deadline (four weeks before the semester begins), families are financially responsible for all registered classes. This policy helps ensure a smooth and consistent experience for our students, families, and vendors.

Q:

A:

Yes, schedule changes are allowed; however, you are still responsible for the full semester tuition once the drop deadline has passed, as the vendor has reserved a spot in their class for your child. All members have a financial commitment to their selected vendors after the drop deadline, which is four weeks prior to the start of the semester. To honor and protect our partnerships, families who do not fulfill their financial commitments to vendors will be removed from the program.

Q:

A:

We always do our best to accommodate when possible! In many cases, parents are the best advocates for their students and are welcome to stay and assist or arrange support as needed. We’d love to learn more about your student’s specific needs—please reach out so we can explore solutions together and see how we can best support your family.
