Your child has a business inside of them.

Let's build it.

Legacy Academy is a 12-week enrichment program for homeschool students ages 10 through 16.

Real curriculum. Real businesses. Real results.

Every cohort produces students who leave with a registered business and having sold a product or service publicly at the local Legacy Market.

This is BLG's mission applied to the next generation.

Classes Begin Wednesday, August 5, 2026

Legacy Market October 24, 2026

Enrollment Limited to 12 students

THE REAL PROBLEM

The desire is there, it’s the structure that’s missing…

You know your child has something. They’ve pitched ideas at the dinner table, traded toys with friends, and sold things to the neighbors when they didn’t even know what profit meant.

What you didn’t see coming was figuring out how to nurture that growth. How to turn a kid with a lemonade stand into a kid with a business, a bank account, and the skills that will build them into a thriving entrepreneur.

That’s not a parenting gap. That’s a resource gap.

And it’s exactly what Legacy Academy was designed to fill.

No. They just need to have the drive. Some students come in with a fully formed idea. Others come in with curiosity and energy. Both are welcome.
The curriculum is designed to develop the idea alongside the skills. What doesn’t work is a student who isn’t yet interested. The spark has to already be there. We just support it.
