School Overview
White Rock Christian Academy (WRCA) has a rich legacy on the Semiahmoo peninsula, shaping students into well-rounded, passionate, creative and faithful citizens since we were established in 1981.

In 2018, WRCA attained full authorization as an IB World School, offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP).
