Your Legacy Begins Here.
Our Driving Force
Legacy Early College believes in the power of a group of individuals united by the same core values. These values guide what we do each and every day. At LEC, we believe that we are a family, a Lion PRIDE, and that all members of our family must adhere to these values so that we can all succeed.
Why We're Different
Early College
for High School Scholars
Our scholars are dual enrolled in college classes at area colleges. These classes are held on our campus. We offer 20 different college classes to our scholars in which they may earn up to 18 credit hours towards a college degree.
To and Through
College
Every scholar is equipped with the tools to achieve this goal. After high school graduation, our scholars are visited by our Alumni Director to ensure and assist in their college journey and even attend their college graduation. We are here for you!
We Teach to the
Whole Child
Our scholars learn through active participation in various studies. We teach not only educational minds, but grow healthy minds through kinesthetic learning , emotional health, constructive self reflection, and health education.
