2023-2024 ANNUAL REPORT

DEAR LCA COMMUNITY,

With deep gratitude, I reflect on the remarkable ways God has shown His faithfulness to Legacy Christian Academy over the past year. God has graciously blessed our school with resources to fulfill its mission, and we desire to be faithful stewards of those resources. Therefore, it is a privilege to present the Annual Report for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, spanning August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024. This report highlights how His provision continues to strengthen and sustain LCA meaningfully.

Thanks to your generosity, LCA has been profoundly impacted. I am thrilled to share that we raised an extraordinary $2.63 million for our Annual Fund, with an impressive 51% parent participation rate. These contributions have enhanced our programs, furthering our mission to provide an exceptional, Christ-centered education.

Enclosed, you will find our annual financial report. At Legacy Christian, we value transparency and take seriously the responsibility of stewarding the resources entrusted to us. Our school remains healthy and thriving, thanks to the diligence and support of our Board of Trustees and Finance Committee. Their steadfast partnership with school leadership ensures a solid foundation for our long-term financial sustainability.

Your generous contributions last year were pivotal in funding transformative initiatives across our campuses. These included the revitalization of our South Campus, which featured modern updates to flooring, wall coverings, the cafeteria stage, additional built-in storage for our teachers, and directional signage throughout the first floor. Our South and North Campus gyms received comprehensive upgrades, enhancing their functionality and appeal. We also unveiled a custom-designed, illuminated art gallery display wall, enhanced campus security measures, and more.

As we celebrate the past year’s accomplishments, we eagerly look ahead to the future of LCA. We trust in God’s promises and continued faithfulness to our school. May His continued blessings guide LCA as we faithfully pursue His calling. “For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations” Psalm 100:5 (ESV).

Thank you for your steadfast support and partnership. Together, we are shaping lives for His glory and building a legacy that will endure for generations.

These advancements, rooted in our shared vision of exceptional Christian education, empower us to fulfill our mission of equipping students to become leaders who will impact the world for Christ.

The work we do together is more than bricks and mortar—it’s about building a legacy. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

The Annual Fund is critical to sustaining this mission, allowing us to go beyond the essentials and provide enriching opportunities that shape the lives of our students. Whether it’s through innovative programs, enhanced learning environments, or spiritual development, your gifts make it all possible.

LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

THE CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF TRUSTEES

DEAR LEGACY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY FAMILY,

When my wife, Irina, and I first joined the Legacy Christian Academy community almost eight years ago, we were immediately struck by the deep sense of faith and fellowship that permeates this school. From day one, we have experienced firsthand the love of Christ through the dedicated leadership, exceptional faculty, and the many families who make LCA such a special place. It has been a profound blessing to see our daughters, Olivia (‘28) and Adele (‘32), grow academically, spiritually, and personally within this incredible community. We are continually reminded of God’s steadfast faithfulness and look forward to all He will continue to do through LCA in the years to come.

At Legacy Christian Academy, we are unwavering in our commitment to developing strong leaders with biblical convictions. Our mission goes beyond academic success; it is deeply rooted in preparing students to live purposefully, boldly grounded in their faith, and ready to make a difference for God’s Kingdom.

This past year, the strength of our community has been a powerful testimony to God’s faithfulness. Psalm 100:5 reminds us, “For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.”

Through your generosity, prayers, and involvement, we’ve seen His goodness manifest in remarkable ways.

Your support of the Annual Fund and your countless gifts of time, talent, and treasure have enabled LCA to flourish. Because of your partnership, we’ve:

• Fostered academic excellence and spiritual growth grounded in a biblical worldview.

• Enhanced leadership development and college readiness initiatives.

• Expanded athletic, fine arts, and extracurricular programs.

• Provided meaningful financial assistance to families who share our mission.

• Made vital upgrades to our campus facilities, security, and technology.

Your faithfulness and investment in this community are leaving a legacy that will impact not just the students of today, but the generations to come. As a father whose daughters have been directly blessed by your generosity, I am deeply grateful for the love, vision, and selflessness that permeates every corner of our school.

As we look ahead, the future is bright. With God at the center and this community standing together, we are poised to continue advancing His Kingdom through the work of LCA. Thank you for walking alongside us in this journey. Your prayers, your support, and your generosity are changing lives and ensuring that the mission of Legacy Christian Academy thrives for years to come.

May God bless you abundantly for your faithfulness and partnership in this Kingdom work.
