Pacific Academy is an independent, co-ed, Christian school for students in Junior Kindergarten (ages 3 and 4) through Grade 12.  The school is operated by the Pacific Pentecostal Education and Communication Society, an independent non-profit society.  Founded in 1985 by a group of Christian pastors and laymen, the school opened in Coquitlam with an enrollment of 200 students.  In January 1991, Pacific Academy moved to new facilities on 40 acres in Surrey.  In September 2004, Pacific Academy High School became an International Baccalaureate World School.  Our Omega Leadership program combines the expertise of Summit Pacific College and PA’s Mission to train young people in service and leadership. In addition, we have a limited International School within the High School. Present school-wide enrollment is approximately 1400 students. 

Although not affiliated with any church or denomination, the school's Statement of Faith is distinctly evangelical and Pentecostal, seeking to allow for the movement of God's Holy Spirit in the daily life of the school. 

The campus includes buildings for each of the four divisions, i.e. Primary, Intermediate, Middle and High School.  In addition, the Creative Arts Building provides specialist areas for Art, Home Economics, Technology Education and Music and the newly-opened Media Centre provides exciting opportunities for media/communications.  A 350-seat cafeteria is available for students' use.  Playing fields and an all-weather athletic track support the school's sports program.  A 1500-seat auditorium constructed in 1997 completes the facilities.

Our outstanding facilities and a staff who have trained and taught around the world combine to create an atmosphere where students can develop their full potential.
