Building the Future
of Education.

What if I told you there’s a school in Greenville, South Carolina, where children learn to believe.

Not just in themselves, but in something bigger; the idea that their potential is limitless – in school, in their career, and in life.

At Legacy Early College, the future isn’t a distant, hazy concept. It’s stitched into the very fabric of their lives.

On the back of every uniform, worn by scholars as young as four years old, are two simple words: College Bound.

That’s not a slogan. It’s a promise we make to them and a promise they make to themselves.

Imagine a school where the child from the most underprivileged background has the same chance as the son or daughter of a CEO. Where the title College Bound isn’t just a goal or aspiration, but a declaration. It’s a Title I school where small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and a holistic approach give every child the tools to become what they want to become.

When you support Legacy Early College, you’re not just changing one life. You’re changing generations. This isn’t about charity. This is about believing in a future where potential is realized. It’s about investing in a promise.

Because every one of these scholars is already on their way.

Building the Future: A New Campus for Legacy Scholars

Legacy Advancement has embarked on a new project to build a school for K4 through 8th grades, allowing Legacy Early College to serve more scholars and amplify its impact on the community.

The new 55-acre campus, scheduled to open by Fall 2026, will enable the school to enhance its innovative educational model, which has already yielded notable outcomes, including alumni who have gone on to excel in higher education and careers.

By investing in Legacy Advancement, supporters help break cycles of poverty, paving the way for future generations of students to achieve educational and personal success.

The new Legacy Early College Elementary and Middle School campus will expand Legacy’s impact, provide a uniquely designed learning environment that fosters holistic development, and, most importantly, serve as a crucial resource for children facing systemic disadvantages, helping to reshape their futures for the better.

“Legacy has been more than just a school to me. I was blessed with amazing teachers who guided me into the path of college. I graduated college in 2020 with a Bachelors in Education and two minors. Now, I have the great opportunity to give back to the Legacy community by teaching young scholars in Legacy Middle School.”

“I recall spending my mornings and afternoons with my advisory. During that time, we would complete homework, meditate, learn values on how to become professionals and talk a heap about sports. It served as an enriching start to my day and provided an opportunity to form lasting bonds with classmates who would eventually graduate alongside me. These moments hold a special place in my heart.”Alejandro J., Class of 2021
