I trust this school 100%, and every parent should be able to feel that way when they leave their child to go to work. My kids learn literacy, social skills, problem-solving skills, and even cookin, and Spanish in their enrichment program. During Summer, they have summer camp for the students, bring a petting zoo, and have water days. My kids love this place. The teachers are very caring. My kids are growing with their friends in this center. They are building the best memories. I can not appreciate enough. My kids come home happy to talk about their day at school and all the things they learned and discovered! The most important thing ever is that this place is safe and clean for my kids, especially with my daughter, who has severe allergies. I highly recommend this place. Liz.

    My Heartfelt Review for Notre Dame Academy Our family is…read morebeyond grateful for Notre Dame Academy. This school has truly been a blessing in our lives, and the impact it has had on our children is something we will always appreciate. My children have been part of this program from infancy, through toddler years, and now into school age, and we have watched them grow, learn, and thrive every step of the way. They didn't just attend this school -- they grew up here. They love being at Notre Dame Academy, and as a parent, I trust this school 100%. That level of trust is priceless, and every parent deserves to feel that peace when leaving their child in someone else's care so they can go to work with confidence. At Notre Dame Academy, my children are learning so much more than academics. They are developing literacy skills, social skills, problem-solving abilities, and even learning cooking and Spanish through enrichment programs. The learning is hands-on, intentional, and meaningful. During the summer, the school offers an amazing summer camp experience with water days, special activities, and even a petting zoo, creating memories my kids talk about long after the day is over. What truly sets this school apart is the care and heart of the teachers and staff. They are patient, loving, and genuinely invested in each child's growth. My children are growing alongside their friends, building strong relationships, confidence, and life skills. Every day they come home happy, excited, and eager to share what they learned and discovered at school -- and that says everything. Safety and cleanliness are extremely important to our family, especially because my daughter has severe allergies. Knowing that my children are in a safe, clean, and well-maintained environment gives me complete peace of mind. I feel confident that my children are protected, respected, and truly cared for here. Notre Dame Academy does an incredible job of nurturing children while preparing them for what's next. Because of this foundation, my kids transition into new schools feeling confident, capable, and ready -- often even ahead of where they need to be. We are so thankful for Notre Dame Academy and the role it plays in helping raise our children with care, structure, and love. This is more than a school -- it's a community that supports families and helps children grow into their best selves. Sincerely, Louis Jones

    We love Legacy! My son is going into 3rd grade and has been here since kindergarten. He absolutely…read moreloves going school! He's thriving and getting great grades all thanks to the amazing teachers. I love that they have enrichment classes starting in kinder. He says it makes his day so much more fun getting to rotate and learn about Computers, Art, Science, Library, Bible, and Spanish. In second grade he was at a 6th grade 6 month reading level which blew me away! As parents we also love that we get to be involved so much, from volunteering in class, to being included in Friday Chapel, to helping with field trips and holiday activities, it's all amazing. The second you walk in to Legacy it feels like home, everyone is so welcoming and kind. We can't wait for more years to come.

    The teachers are mostly great, and the seasonal celebrations and parental/family involvement are…read moreawesome. I'm also very grateful for the school's success in instilling a strong moral compass, Christian values, and an understanding of Christianity. That was truly top-tier. That said, we've unenrolled and will be attending public school for the 2026-2027 school year, along with what I understand to be at least 100 other families. The primary reason is that the general sentiment is that the cost of tuition no longer matches the quality of education being provided. We've experienced tuition increases every year for the past 3-4 years, maybe even the last 5 years. This includes increases of 9%, 6%, 5%... There is no indication these increases are slowing down, yet the educational experience has not kept pace with what families should reasonably expect from such an expensive private school. Academically, students transitioning to public school have often been behind in math to the point that the school has since improved its math curriculum, starting this school year. That's great for future students, but for the tuition being charged, this should never have been an issue in the first place. The same can be said for Spanish. My oldest attended Legacy from K-4 and my youngest from K-2. They took Spanish every year, yet neither can speak or understand more than a few basic words. This seems to be common among students who are not already bilingual. After years of paying for Spanish instruction, there should be significantly more to show for it. There has also been a noticeable change in the school's culture since its partnership with Grace Community Church in Sunland (not to be confused with Grace Baptist here in SCV) and the increased involvement of The Master's University (TMU). Many families feel the school has become more business-oriented and that hiring increasingly favors individuals connected to Grace or TMU, creating a perception of nepotism. Security is another major concern. With more than 500 students across a K-12 campus consisting of multiple buildings, having only one security guard during school hours is simply inadequate. A campus of this size should have at least two guards to provide meaningful coverage. Then there's a lack of law enforcement experience with the guard for the last 2 years. When Legacy first implemented armed security, law-enforcement experience was mandatory. That standard has since changed, and the current guard does not have any kind of law-enforcement background and is limited to basic security experience. By comparison, Trinity Classical Academy has multiple guards on campus and their security personnel have law-enforcement backgrounds. For a school charging premium tuition, I believe that level of security should be the minimum expectation. Ultimately, the biggest issue is value. Going into 2026-2027, tuition for my two elementary-age children would have been $4,500 per month, before future increases. High school tuition is already around $3,000 per month per student, before future increases. At those prices, families should expect an exceptional academic experience, strong college preparation, and a robust security program that is consistent with a premium private school. Instead, many graduates are attending schools such as TMU or UC campuses. There is nothing wrong with those schools, but when Legacy presents itself as a premier, prestigious private Christian school and charges premium tuition, it is reasonable for parents to question whether the overall educational value and outcomes justify the price. Legacy does many things well--particularly its Christian foundation, teachers, and family involvement-- The question is no longer whether Legacy is a good school. The question is whether it is a $30,000-$50,000-per-year school. Based on our experience, we no longer believe it is.
