ABOUT US White Rock Christian Academy is a category one independent school run by the interdenominational White Rock Christian Academy Society. Currently there are over 30 different churches represented in our student body ranging from a wide variety denominational backgrounds. White Rock Christian Academy (WRCA) opened its doors at 2265 152nd street in September of 1981 using Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) as its core curriculum. In September of 1990 the curriculum was changed from ACE to a B.C. approved curriculum taught from a distinct Christian perspective. The school was housed in the combined 30,000 sq. ft. facilities with White Rock Christian Fellowship.

Today, White Rock Christian Academy offers a Christian Education to over 400 students in Grades K - 12 and has a staff of thirty-one certified teachers and 9 support staff. The main building consists of 40,000 sq. ft. accommodating classrooms for K-1 gr. 9-12, a gym, computer lab, library, band room, chapel and cafeteria. Thirteen portable classrooms are housed on the property.

The school is operated by the White Rock Christian Academy Society Board of Directors. The school meets all the requirements of Group I funding by the Ministry of Education. This means that 50% of the cost of educating a student in the local public school district is granted to White Rock Christian Academy by the provincial government for each full time student enrolled in the school. These funds are designated strictly for operating costs. The school receives its other funds for operating and capital costs from student tuitions, donations, and fundraising efforts. All major capital costs necessary to maintain the school must be met by parents and supporters of the school.

Bible is taught as one of the subjects in the school. All core subjects are
taught from a biblical perspective. Students are challenged to acquire knowledge, skills and understanding (wisdom) and then to use their knowledge, skills and understanding to impact their present and future
community for good.

WRCA has strong extra-curricular academic, arts and athletics programs. Students have won various awards at local and national music festivals. WRCA has also had students compete and earn local and national recognition in math contests, writing contests as well as model united nations events and geography challenges. In boys' basketball, girls' volleyball, Track and Field and Cross Country the teams have attained top ranking in the Fraser Valley Division and have competed at the B.C. Provincial Championships. Both basketball and volleyball teams have won provincial championships on numerous occasions.

The Christian teachers at White Rock Christian Academy are dedicated to providing an excellent Christ centred education for the students and assisting them in developing Godly character and a sound Biblical worldview.
Each teacher is challenged to continuously grow professionally to be the best they can be in their specific field. WRCA has had both teachers and administrators serve on both government and independent school evaluation teams.

Every student is encouraged to develop their God-given gifts. This is done through both our curricular (course offerings in instrumental and choral music, graphic art, senior Math, Social Studies, English and the Sciences) as well as our extracurricular (jazz band and choir, sports teams, student council, worship teams, model united nations, yearbook, academic contests, science fairs, etc.) programs as well as through the close relationships and mentoring that happens on a day to day basis.
