White Rock Christian Academy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

White Rock Christian Academy, also known as W.R.C.A., is a Christian private school in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada with a student population of 310 and a staff population of 21, as well as an ESLSchool with 12 students and 1 staff member as of September 2006. Its class size varies from 22 students to over 30. It has one or two classes per grade in Elementary School, Middle School, and Secondary School. White Rock Christian Academy opened its doors at 2265 152nd street in September 1981 using Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) as its core curriculum. In September 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, now known as Life Church. The main building accommodates classrooms for K, grades 7-12, ESL, a gym, band room, chapel and cafeteria. Six portable elementary classrooms are housed on the property. The school is looking to buy property in a new location due to the church wanting to have more space. WRCA would also need more space to increase its student capacity.

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 and to use this knowledge to impact their present and future community for good.

WRCA has strong extra-curricular music and sports programs. Students have won various awards at local and national music festivals. In both boys' basketball and girls' volleyball, the teams have attained top ranking in the Fraser Valley Division and have competed at the B.C. Provincial Championships.
