Legacy Online School Website Redesign

Legacy is an online Islamic school that was founded before the peak of online learning. Its mission was to create an innovative alternative learning environment that merged two worlds: the high educational standards of in-person schools and the deep values of Islam. By bringing in top mentors from around the globe, Legacy grew from struggling to find students at the beginning to having waiting lists and opening new grade levels.

With this growth, Legacy needed its digital presence to match its established reputation. That’s when they reached out to The RedCoat.
