Legacy Christian School

My son has attended Legacy Christian School for both kindergarten and first grade, and I cannot express how grateful and happy we are to have found such a caring, nurturing, and academically excellent school for him.
Before enrolling our son at Legacy, my husband and I deliberated for a long time. We are fortunate to have very good public schools in our area and wondered if it would be worth it to place our son in private school with the accompanying (although very reasonable, in Legacy’s case) tuition.
We are so glad that we decided on Legacy! Our son’s teachers have all been awesome, extremely caring individuals who genuinely love their students and go way above and beyond to make sure that each child excels academically, becomes a good citizen, grows spiritually, and loves school. The teacher-​to-​student ratios are very, very good, and should a classroom’s size grow, the administration makes sure to do what needs to be done to maintain good ratios. The administration and staff are all exceptionally kind and do so many things to make sure every student feels cared for and loved. When I send my child to school, there is such peace in my heart because I know he is going somewhere that isn’t just a school — everyone there knows and looks out for each other, and my son is always so happy to head to school and so full of excitement and joy about his day when we pick him up afterwards.
Reading has always been a little bit of a challenge for my son, and his teachers at Legacy have helped him so much. Students who need extra help and individual attention at Legacy always receive it, along with good ideas for ways the parents can help. Even if something is challenging for the students, the teachers really help keep them motivated and positive about everything. The amount of homework given is perfect — just enough to cement in the day’s learning a bit. I really feel that my child learns a lot while at school, and there’s no need for an overwhelming amount of homework because so much has already been covered well in class.
Finally, I think it’s worth mentioning that the teachers all stay with their students while they wait for their parents to drive through the circle in front of the school to pick them up. Safety monitors, aides, and even the super-​nice principal herself all walk the students (especially the young ones) to their parents’ cars. Everyone is as friendly and polite as can be, and it’s these little things — this caring environment — that makes this school stand out.
We will continue to send our son to Legacy as long as we can and hope to send his little sister there, too. It’s very comforting to know that my son is in such good hands all day at school and that everything is always such a positive experience for him.

We absolutely LOVE Legacy Christian School. My daughter started kindergarten here last year and is now well into her 1^st grade year. Her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Craig, was Fantastic! She is everything you would want for your child’s first year of school. So sweet, kind, patient, always doing little extra things for the kids to make them feel special, an all around lovely person and of course a great teacher! She taught the kids so much. I really like the curriculum. It is a good mix of phonics and «special sounds», so they really get a good foundation for reading. She is now in Mrs. Rind’s (love her too!) 1^st grade class and is reading so well.
The school has a lot of extra programs, too. My daughter enjoys the art classes during school and we also have her in the Tai Kwon Do in a after school class. But there are many more extra programs that are offered.
One thing I think is really important to mention, they limit homework. I think this is an awesome concept. They understand that your child needs to rest after school and have family time. It’s a small thing, but makes so much sense and limits stress at home.
The Principal, Mrs. Hudson, is always smiling and there to greet the kids every morning as they arrive. The staff is positive too and we just feel so blessed to have found this gem of a school. I could go on and on, but please check it out for yourself it you are looking for a great school for your child. :-)

My two grandsons (see above) are students there, and I couldn’t be happier. The quality of teaching and caring that the teachers express on a day-​to-​day basis is amazing. They seem to genuinely love each child and nurture their love of learning. The boys love every minute of school and every time I see them, they very proudly tell me about something they just learned. Not only do they learn the basics (and more), they learn respect, honesty, and love of God. I highly recommend it.

My two boys attend Legacy Christian School and just finished their Kindergarten and 2^nd grade years at Legacy Christian School. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the education, the wonderful teachers and the caring and nurturing environment that has surrounded my kids throughout the last year. Both my kids love everything about school, and would race in the morning so they weren’t late. They have developed academically, but also spiritually at Legacy. I wouldn’t want my kids going to school anywhere else.

We just started my daughter at this school this year. She is in pre-​school, and I must say it has been such a blessing we found this school. Her teacher is amazing! She is half way through the school year and she has begun to read! Its a small school, and has not been in San Jose very long, but I see a very bright and long future ahead for Legacy. As long as im living in the San Jose area, my daughter will be attending Legacy Christian.
