What if strong academics didn’t have to mean more worksheets, a longer school day, or homework every night? 💙

At Legacy Foundations Academy, children build strong academic foundations in ways they can see, touch, discuss, practice, and truly understand.

In phonics, we use explicit UFLI instruction to build decoding and encoding skills through direct teaching, visual and auditory practice, and immediate feedback.

In math, students don’t simply memorize that ten ones make a ten. They build it. They bundle it. They take it apart. They count forward and backward and use what they can see and touch to understand place value.

In reading and knowledge-building, our study of habitats has taken us from deserts and forests into the tropical rainforest, strengthening comprehension while naturally connecting reading, science, and the world around us.

In science, students have investigated seed dispersal, explored inherited traits, and continued asking questions about how plants grow and interact with their environments.

The activities are engaging, but the goal isn’t entertainment. The goal is understanding.

And this is where a class intentionally limited to seven students changes what is possible.

I can see what each child understands while we are learning. I can notice when something hasn’t clicked, slow down, teach it another way, or give more practice before frustration grows. And when a student is ready for more, we can keep going.

Strong academics. A developmentally appropriate school day. A teacher who has time to notice. And evenings that can still belong to family.

Small class. Strong foundation. Big future.

Mexican Independence Day at LFA 🇲🇽💚

Today we spent time learning about Mexican history, culture, and the meaning behind Mexican Independence Day through books, conversation, and hands-on activities.

The students created, asked questions, made connections, and learned together throughout the day.

And of course, we ended our celebration with paletas. 🎉

I love creating school days that are rich in learning, meaningful, and memorable for kids.

Strong academics. Rich experiences. Plenty of joy.

Library stop for tomorrow’s learning 🇲🇽📚

I picked up a few books today at Mammen Family Public Library as we get ready to learn about and celebrate Mexican Independence Day at LFA tomorrow.

We’ll be reading, talking about history and culture, making connections, and learning together throughout the day.

And don’t tell the students yet… but we’re ending our celebration with paletas! 🎉

I love being able to make learning feel meaningful, joyful, and connected to the world around us.

Strong academics. Rich experiences. Plenty of joy. 💚

What a full day of hands-on learning at LFA! 💚

🔢 In math, we used blocks to build numbers, take them apart, and count backward to zero—making number sense something students could actually see and touch.

🌎 CKLA took us to the East African savanna, where we explored how habitats and animal adaptations help living things survive.

🔬 Then with Mystery Science, we put camouflage to the test! There are 9 moths hiding in this photo—how many can you find? Which ones do you think a predator would spot first, and why?

✨ We also introduced our new fuzzy ball bowl! Students earn fuzzies when we catch them showing kindness, leadership, perseverance, hard work, or great choices. Once we reach the line, Pajama Day goes on our calendar!

Look how many they already earned on day one. Such a great group of kids. 💚

This is exactly what I hoped for when I opened Legacy. 💙

I wanted children to be challenged, taught well, and given a strong academic foundation.

But I also wanted them to want to come to school.

To talk about their day.
To feel known here.
To be excited to walk through the door.

Getting a message like this from a parent and realizing that is actually happening means more to me than I can explain.

School can be strong academically and be a place children genuinely love being.

Small class. Strong foundation. Big future.

Legacy is now offering private tours and trial days for prospective families. 💙

Choosing a school is a big decision, and I don’t think families should have to make it from a website alone.

Prospective families can now schedule a private tour to see the classroom, learn how our school day works, and ask questions in person.

For students who may be a strong fit, we can also arrange a trial day so they can experience a real day at Legacy before an enrollment decision is made.

Because Legacy is intentionally small, admissions are thoughtful and personal. A trial day gives both the child and Legacy an opportunity to see whether the fit feels right.

I built Legacy around a question I had been asking for years: what would school look like if the day were designed around young children from the very beginning?

Now that we’re actually living it, I’m getting to see the answer.

Children arrive excited to be here. They cheer when their classmates walk in. We start the day calmly, move into strong academics while their attention is fresh, take movement breaks when they need them, learn math with our hands, enjoy stories somewhere comfortable, eat lunch without being rushed, and still have energy left for science and social studies.

The academics are strong, research-based, and built on evidence-backed curriculum and instruction.

The day is also calm, joyful, and developmentally appropriate.

Those things do not have to compete with each other.

This is not less school. It is school designed more intentionally for children.

Legacy is led by an award-winning Texas-certified teacher with more than 15 years of elementary experience and an Exemplary Teacher designation.

And watching this model actually work has been one of the most rewarding parts of opening Legacy.

I’ve watched children grow excited to come to school. I’ve watched parents leave at drop-off smiling and relieved. I’ve watched students encourage one another, celebrate each other’s arrival, and become a community.

For some families, the question is not whether their child can make a traditional school setting work.

It is whether there might be a school experience that fits their family better.

Maybe you want strong, intentional instruction without becoming the teacher yourself.

Maybe you love the idea of a smaller, more personal learning environment but do not want to homeschool.

Maybe you are looking beyond a large public school or traditional private school and wondering if there is another option.

There is.

Legacy Foundations Academy is a teacher-led private microschool in Bulverde for Grades 1–3, limited to seven students. We meet Monday–Thursday, 8:30 AM–1:00 PM, and a few spaces remain for this school year.

Introducing LFA’s teaching assistants: Nacho Cat and Pico de Gato.

Strengths: cuddling, moral support, sitting on important things, and surprise photobombs.

Weaknesses: organization, productivity, professionalism, actually assisting.

Compensation package: apparently still too generous. 🐾

Today was our very first day at Legacy Foundations Academy. 💙

After months of planning, building, and imagining what I wanted school to feel like for children, I finally got to watch it happen.

It was calm. It was joyful. There was time to learn, move, talk, think, and simply be together without the constant rush from one thing to the next.

At the end of the day, students chose something they wanted to share with their families, because I want going home to feel positive too.

And the best part?

Hearing a child say, “I had a great first day. I want to come back tomorrow.”

That’s what this was all for.
