Overview

Mission

The purpose for which Legacy Homeschool Center is organized is to provide access to non denominational Christian academic instruction in accordance with New Testament scriptures and to provide support to the local homeschool community. In furtherance of said purpose, Legacy Homeschool Center may engage in other, incidental and collateral activities directly or indirectly related to the exclusive purpose of the corporation. By way of illustration and not by way of limitation, these activities may include tutorial services, distribution of educational materials, informing the public concerning access to and features of home based education, forming or promoting support and special interest groups for students and/ or parents, field trips, as well as fund raising activities in the furtherance or support of the foregoing purpose.

What it reported doing in 2025

Coordinated provision of 50+ classes to approximately 80 families meeting once weekly for 32 sessions. Tuition is collected from families and paid to independent contractors who teach the classes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 92% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
