| Pacific Academy's Program |
|
Pacific Academy High School seeks to provide a balanced program that encourages students to grow and develop spiritually, academically, physically and socially. The goal is to explore God's creation together while discovering individual talents and developing skills.
The school provides students with a rigorous academic program and teaches them to apply biblical principles to all aspects of their lives. Courses meet BC Ministry of Education requirements, but are taught from a Christian world-view: one that accepts the Bible as the authoritative Word of God and recognizes the fallen nature of Man. The school does not avoid speaking to controverial issues; rather, teachers are committed to addressing such areas directly, believing that a Christian school is the perfect place for students to be confronted with issues and perspectives characteristic of the world in which we live.
While students generally take a heavy academic load, excellent courses in the Fine Arts and Appied Skills are also available. In addition, students are involved in a variety of extracurricular activities which include Outreach, Athletics and Drama.

In February 2004, Pacific Academy became an authorized IB World School. The IB Diploma Program is a rigorous pre-university program leading to assessments in six subject areas. Established in 1968, the IB offers a challenging curriculum noted for its depth and its international perspective. The two-year IB Diploma provides a coherent and demanding educational experience across the full curriculum. IB students also engage in community service, individual research, and an enquiry into the nature of knowledge. The IB Diploma is accepted as an admissions credential at universities in 102 countries. In addition, high scores on IB exams often entitle students to credit or placement at university. Program details may be found on the International Baccalaureate Program page.
