Good day! This review covers it https://www.homeschool.com/productreviews/legacy-online-school-curriculum-review/ - middle school programs need to balance structure with growing independence. Legacy's grades 6-8 curriculum includes core academic subjects preparing for high school rigor, elective courses allowing exploration of interests, certified teachers who understand adolescent development, and social opportunities through live classes and virtual clubs. Middle schoolers need peer interaction - the live group format and chat features provide this. The program builds essential study skills, time management, and self-advocacy. Look for accreditation ensuring quality, alignment with high school prep standards, comprehensive support services, and extracurricular options. Middle school sets the foundation for high school success, so choose a program with proven outcomes.
