Choosing a school is an important decision. Families want a place where their children will be known, challenged, supported and prepared well for the future.
At Pacific Academy, our vision is for every student to know Jesus and be thoroughly equipped to live an adventurous, Spirit-led life. We support students to discover their gifts, grow in faith and confidence, and become equipped to lead and serve with purpose.
As you explore Pacific Academy, I hope to begin to see what makes this community such a special place to learn, grow and belong.

Once we have received your information, you'll be contacted by email and informed of the status of your application. Pacific Academy does not have an application deadline, but offers seats when they become available. Applications for admission in September are accepted 11 months in advance, i.e. the first working day in October of the previous year.
If and when there is the possibility of a seat being available, you will be contacted to schedule an interview. Interviews for kindergarten start in early February, and interviews for grades 1 - 12 begin in April after re-enrollment of current students is completed.
Once placement has been confirmed we require: (a) a non-refundable $150 placement fee per child, (b) a student damage deposit, (c) a completed pre-authorized debit plan form with a void cheque, or alternatively (d) a post-dated cheque for the entire year's tuition.
If a student is not accepted, a new application is not necessary every year, provided you contact the Registrar's Office in writing prior to October 1st to notify us of your wish that the student's name remain in the wait pool. A copy of the student's year-end report card must accompany your notification. If we do not hear from you before October 1st, we'll automatically discard the application.
Registration priority categories:
- Students presently enrolled.
- Students who, or whose parent(s), regularly attend a Pentecostal or similar charismatic Christian church, or students who, or whose parent(s), regularly attend an evangelical Christian church and have experienced the infilling of the Holy Spirit as evidenced by the sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit of God gives them utterance (Acts 2:4).
- Students who, or whose parent(s), regularly attend an evangelical Christian church. Constitutionally, Pacific Academy must strive to fulfill the mandate that 75% of our student body be from category 2. Siblings of students presently enrolled are given priority within categories 2 and 3.

“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.”
