Legacy Christian Academy: Government says school now separate from church, but connections remain [Video]

The Government of Saskatchewan says a private Christian school, embroiled in abuse allegations, has proved it’s met education ministry rules by formally disconnecting from an affiliated church.

But, by some indications, connections remain.

Legacy Christian Academy had a deadline of Sept. 1 to comply with provincial regulations that mandate every qualified independent school to “be a separate corporation from any religious order or society.”

In an email to CTV News, the Ministry of Education said the school met the deadline.

“The school has provided the appropriate incorporation documents from Information Services Corporation (ISC). Those documents show the school is a separate corporation,” the ministry wrote.

Legacy Christian Academy changed its name and incorporated as Valour Academy on July 31, 2023.
