Our School

Legacy Preparatory Academy is a tuition FREE K-9 public charter school.

The campus is located in Woods Cross, Utah. Our elementary building serves students in grades K-6. Our Junior High Building serves students in grades 7-9. 

OUR BEGINNING

It was these ideas that spurred our new group on for many weeks, months, and long nights.  We researched, debated, and wrote our ideas into the school’s charter. Once it was passed by the State School Board, it was then ready for implementation.  

 

After many weeks of public information recruitment meetings, we cobbled together a group of 50 parents ready to trust the plan and make it happen. After thousands of volunteer hours, personal funds expended, numerous rocky bumps, and many witnessed miracles, our dream became a reality. 

 

We had the greatest group of volunteers who gave everything to provide an education for their children and thousands of other kids in the community. We had the most amazing teachers and staff who also gave their all to make order out of chaos. Legacy Preparatory Academy was truly a labor of love for every person involved.
