I run Mayden Academy, a code school in Bath in the UK. Our students complete 7 large projects throughout the course, 2 of which are done with legacy applications. New features and bug fixes.

A few years ago we started two applications for internal use, to help run the school. These applications are now maintained and developed by our students, giving them the chance to work on real world applications with real users, and legacy code.
