Bakersfield, CA 93308
(661) 393-1783
Legacy Christian Academy educates all learners through a comprehensive, dually accredited K-12 program which includes all the core academic subjects as well as art, music, physical education, and a variety of enrichment courses.
Legacy advances students in their areas of giftedness while supporting any learning challenges. We believe all children can thrive in the University-Model. Legacy Christian Academy utilizes professional educators partnering with parents to provide a distinctive, Christ-centered education. K-12 students attend classes 2-3 days per week and complete teacher-prepared lessons on their “satellite” home days. Legacy teachers design weekly lesson plans; train and equip parents; and provide individualized support to families in a unique partnership. Legacy gives the gift of time back to families. Time to grow spiritually, time to thrive academically, and time to be a family.
As parents, we discipline our children to grow as God has designed, not as our world’s culture would direct them. As children get older, their peers, teachers, and coaches play an important role in how they perceive the world. In addition to providing your children with the academic tools they need in life, our goal at Legacy is to disciple the next generation of Christ followers for a lifetime of leadership.

What is Classical Education?
In Classical Education, we observe that the creator is a God of order and intention. Through Math, Science, Languages, Music and in the Fine Arts students discover the reflection and beauty of the created world and universe.
Who is St. John Vianney Academy?
At St. John Vianney Academy, we are a homeschool enrichment program that strives to empower children by giving them the gifts of faith, reason, and virtue. We believe this is best done by working alongside parents to implement the classical method of education. The beauty of this is that children learn how to think, and not what to think. Our teachers are trained to approach learning by recognizing that there are natural and progressive stages in child development. Our children will understand how to apply the tools of learning to any subject -mastering new information in sometimes half the time of their peers. This develops confidence and ultimately, this creates a life-long desire and love for learning.
“Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ” (Ephesians 4:32). SJVA provides a rich environment that forms good conscience and a moral compass through the virtues. Our teachers are not only classically trained but also, are themselves, people of the Catholic faith. They themselves are seekers of truth, virtue, and joy. Our community supports families as God intended. With this strong foundation, our children are on the path to becoming responsible adults with passion and ability for glorifying our Creator.
