Legacy Christian Academy's "Summer School"
Plan Includes Renovated Science Lab
Legacy Christian Academy is already known as a STEM powerhouse; the campus earned the nickname "Legacy Tech" thanks to the Academy's emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Thanks to a variety of STEM programming, advanced curriculum, acquisitions like a 3D printer and dedicated space like the new Innovation Lab, Legacy learners thrive in competitive robotics competitions, Science Olympiads and more.
Never one to rest on their laurels, the Legacy administration has directed their attentions to a new STEM project; Legacy staff will spend the summer renovating the campus's Science Lab. "For a K-through-eight school, it was already rare and impressive that Legacy had a dedicated, well-appointed Science Lab used regularly for differentiated instruction in all grades," says Dr. Matthew Northrop, Legacy's principal. "With construction scheduled to be completed before classes resume, the new Science Lab will be one of the best in the region. We have designed a space where every Legacy child can become an inspired, passionate, knowledgeable scientist."
"Thanks to our generous, committed community of parents and supporters, we are able to invest in state-of-the-art technology and life-science acquisitions that will empower Legacy learners to meaningfully interact with the subject matter of our advanced STEM curriculum," explains Tim Borruel, the Academy's superintendent and co-founder. "The new Science Lab will be a place where students can experience the awe of God's creation via hands-on learning and the best-available technology. It's going to be where learning, life and tech intersect in a way that enables our students to develop the habits of scientists, leaders, innovators and problem solvers."
Tours of the campus are available year round.
