Academics
We believe students need to be challenged, encouraged and supported in their learning. We offer all three IB Programmes to all students as a comprehensive, inclusive educational model.
As a Christian school, we also provide a Biblical Christian worldview as the foundation of learning with students participating in Biblical Studies classes, daily devotions, chapel and spiritual retreats.
The IB Programme
At White Rock Christian Academy, we utilize the International Baccalaureate® (IB) programme, which gives our students the best advantage in preparing them for the future. The integrated learning and structured approach provide students with a competitive advantage in that they are better prepared, more confident and have superior time management, organizational and research skills.
White Rock Christian Academy is the FIRST North American Christian Continuum International Baccalaureate® (IB) World School. WRCA received authorization for PYP (Primary Years Programme) and MYP (Middle Years Programme) in 2018, and DP (Diploma Programme) in 2016.
An IB education is viewed as a university preparatory program. Involvement with IB provides students with the tools needed to succeed at university: preparedness, self-confidence, research skills and ability to manage time. More importantly, students develop a sense of the world around them and their responsibility in it and, as such, can contribute to class discussions and the community.
More than 1,000 universities in North America have recognition policies on how they weigh a Diploma Program (DP) graduate in admissions. Universities not only grant first year credit for Diploma courses, but also offer important benefits such as early registration, placement in onsite residences and entrance scholarships.
At WRCA, we believe well-educated students going through an IB education will be able to demonstrate Godly character while transforming their world for Christ.
