Admissions
Hello and Welcome!
We are so glad you’re here to learn more about WRCA and discover the difference in our community. Like you, we are deeply passionate about providing high-quality, Christ-centered education in a supportive and inspirational school environment. Our goal is not just to prepare our students for top universities, but to equip them for a lifetime of meaningful impact and service.
At WRCA, our mission is to inspire and cultivate citizens of Godly character who transform their world for Christ, and I’m excited that you are considering this journey for your child. As a parent with children at WRCA, I can personally speak to the value of being part of a school that fosters a close partnership between the family, the school, and the church. This partnership plays a vital role in helping our children grow both academically and spiritually, setting them up for success in their formative years and beyond.
We believe every child deserves a well-rounded education, one that opens doors to their future and helps them pursue their passions. That’s why we focus on four core areas: Academics, Art, Athletics, and Mission-Service Learning. For our Grade 11 and 12 students, we offer two distinct graduation pathways—the IB Diploma Programme or the BC Certificate of Graduation—allowing students to choose the path that best aligns with their strengths, interests, and future goals.
Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision, and I want you to know we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our team has walked this path before, and we understand the questions and considerations that come with this process. Let’s connect to discuss how WRCA can meet your family’s needs. We’d love for you to join one of our Preview Days to explore the possibilities for your child.
We’re excited about the opportunity to partner with you in shaping a promising and meaningful future for your child, and we look forward to welcoming you to the WRCA family.
Blessings,

Sam Rehman
Chief Administrative Officer
Vision
Our vision is to inspire and cultivate citizens of Godly character who transform their world for Christ.
Mission
Our mission is to provide a Christ-centered education that fosters students’ spiritual, academic, and personal growth, preparing them for purpose-driven lives through meaningful engagement with real-world challenges.
We Believe:
- That the Lord Jesus Christ will return triumphantly at the end of this age to judge all who have rejected Christ to eternal separation from God and to unite the believers with Christ to reign eternally with God in glory.
- In one God, the creator of heaven and earth, who eternally co-exists in the persons of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- That the Bible, comprised of the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, is the Word of God as originally written, is inspired by the Spirit of God, entirely free from error, and is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
- In the sovereignty and grace of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in creation, providence, revelation, redemption and final judgment.
- In Jesus Christ, the Saviour of man, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully man.
- That man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and only by grace through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and eternal life be obtained.
- That Jesus Christ died for our sins, that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scripture.
- In Christ’s substitutionary death and resurrection as the sole ground of our salvation.
- In the ordinance of water baptism of believers to be observed by the local church.
- In the ordinance of communion for believers to be observed by the local church.
- In one church, the body of Christ; practically expressed through the local church as the place of membership and accountability where each believer is to be discipled and empowered as a witness to their faith.
- That every believer in Christ shall manifest, through the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit including the charismatic gifts enumerated in I Corinthians 12 – 14, a joyful, living witness to the transformational power of Christ.
- That God instituted marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman for the purpose of companionship, encouragement, sexual intimacy and procreation.
- In the reality and personality of Satan.
Our School Values are C.L.E.A.R.:

COMPELLED: Glorify God through the pursuit of excellence – “For Christ’s love compels us” (2 Corinthians 5:11-21).

LIBERATED: Honour passion, creativity and initiative – “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh, rather, serve one another humbly in love…” (Galatians 5:13-26)

ENGAGED: Provide a holistic education from a Biblical Christian worldview – “Love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength” (Mark 12:28-32).

ANCHORED: Be Christ Centered – “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” (Hebrews 6:19).

REFINED: Form resilient and mature followers of Christ- Refined – “We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope” (Romans 5:1-5).
