Pacific Academy

Pacific Academy is a Christian school in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada that spans from preschool to Grade 12. The school generally has 4 classes per grade, and has over 200 staff members as well as 1500 students. It was started by Jim Pattison, a billionaire who donated money to create Pacific Academy.

As stated on the school's main website:

:"Pacific Academy is an independent (in partnership with Jim Pattison), co-ed, Christian school for students in Preschool through Grade 12. The school is operated by the Pacific Pentecostal Education and Communication Society, an independent non-profit society. Founded in 1985 by a group of Christian pastors and laymen, the school opened in Coquitlam with an enrollment of 200 students. In January 1991, Pacific Academy moved to new facilities on 40 acres in Surrey. In September 2004, Pacific Academy High School became an International Baccalaureate World School.

The campus includes buildings for each of the four divisions, i.e. Primary, Intermediate, Middle and High School. In addition, the Creative Arts Building provides specialist areas for Art, Home Economics, Technology Education and Music and the newly-opened Media Centre provides exciting opportunities for media/communications. A 350-seat cafeteria is available for students' use. Playing fields and an all-weather athletic track support the school's sports program.

Recent construction of a new gym started at the beginning of 2008, linking to the Middle School's original gym. This new facility's construction began after the demolition of Pacific Academy's Maintenance Garage. The construction of the new gym is expected to be completed by the end of Summer 2008.
