High School Students
Legacy Academy has partnered with Kishwaukee Education Consortium (hereafter referred to as KEC) creating a two year barbering program for juniors. We have also created a one year barbering program for seniors.
Students would attend class at Legacy Academy during school hours with an opportunity to receive 1-3 high school credits depending which program they are apart of. We would like to add that Barbering is not an alternative to college, but instead, Barbering is simply a career choice. It’s never an either/or, but instead, an addition regardless of your educational path.
