IB gave me the opportunity to challenge myself to become a deeper thinker - one who can look beyond the obvious and find a more comprehensive approach. I have also learned to manage time and alleviate stress more efficiently which is helpful for post-secondary education.
Each school year, God has placed our children with caring, nurturing teachers. The strong, supportive partnership between the school and our home has been so beneficial to our children’s growth.
We never stop thanking God for allowing our three children to be a part of Pacific Academy.
We love the balance between academics and social involvement in the world inside and outside our community.

What grades did you attend PA for
Grades 7-12. I started at PA in Grade 7, the very first year the school opened. The class was so small, we were in a Gr, 6/7 split class. I am still very good friends with a lot of those I went to school with in that class and am now Facebook friends with quite a few others as well.
