We are ecstatic about the grand opening LEGACY PREPARATORY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY on August 24, 2009. This has been a vision of the Hearnsberger's and Condon's for many years.

LPCA is a college prep Christ-centered school that is for students from Kindergarten through 12 grade.  Enrollment for students in grades 1-8 are open to all students no matter their educational background; however, enrollment for grades 9-12 are accepted based upon the following criteria:

• Student must already be enrolled in LPCA grades 1-8
• Student must have previous Christian education background
• Special consideration by school board on a case-by-case basis

LPCA will utilize one of the best Christ-centered teaching curriculums in the world - Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.). This ministry curriculum was established in 1970 and has grown to educate children in over 125 countries around the world with more than 1,000 schools world-wide. With this teaching system, no child will ever get left behind educationally regardless of the child's educational level.

LPCA is an outreach ministry of Legacy Church, a non-denominational, Spirit-filled church in Akron, Ohio pastored by Todd Marshall Hearnsberger and his wife, Stephanie.

Pastors Todd & Stephanie and Pastors Dennis & Sue Condon (pastor emeritus' of LC) co-founded and opened Noah's Ark Childcare Academy on November 9, 1998 to offer a safe, spiritual environment for pre-schoolers to learn basic educational skills.

LPCA is administrated by Pastors Daren & Angel Hearnsberger who have 17 years of child, youth and senior pastor experience as well as public school teaching and training.

With over 41 years of combined pastoral and Christian education experience, LPCA will assure a quality, Christ-centered educational experience that will propel students into rewarding careers and stable family lives.

We are experiencing rapid growth in our preschool and Christian academy. Plans are already in the works to build a new facility that will house both the preschool and the Christian academy.

    LPCA's educational program will be Christ-centered with the guidance of Christian leaders and teachers. Doctrinal issues will not be a part of our teaching curriculum. We view our role as a partnership with the parents to meet each child’s need.

    The Christian school is not a school just merely for the sake of academics, but for the sake of fulfilling the church’s God-ordained role in carrying out the Christian education mandate (Deut. 6:7, Prov. 22:6, II Tim. 3:15-17).

We train our students to do the following:
1. Respect Authority
2. Pay Attention
3. Obey Willingly and Immediately
4. Pro-activity
5. Learn Rules and Apply Them
6. Do Their Best
7. Learn to Work Hard
8. Goal Setting

LPCA will be utilizing a teaching curriculum called Accelerated Christian Education.  A.C.E.’s teaching system never leaves a student behind nor does it place a hindrance on the student who learns faster. Each student is taught learning concepts using PACEs – individualized subjects that are broken down into bite-sized units. The student works at his/her own pace and is not allowed to move to the next learning concept until they have mastered the current concept. This teaching philosophy is called “Individualized, Mastery-based Learning”.

This truly is a different and unique approach to education that has proven to be effective.

Biblical principles and character traits are strongly woven throughout the curriculum as well. We do not teach doctrinal issues.

Graduated students have been accepted by over 900 colleges and universities through America including Harvard, Yale, Ohio State University, University of Ohio, University of Texas, etc.

LPCA will utilize a school uniform system. Our school colors will be: Navy Blue, Silver & Black. The students must wear the approved uniform design, and parents must purchase the uniforms through Schoolbelles Uniform Company. Contact Schoolbelles Uniform Company to get pricing and other details.
