Parent Community

BC Christian Academy is known for its warm and caring environment where parents of our students are actively engaged and supportive of our mission. This has a profound effect on our students’ success. When parents get involved and show interest in their child’s school and education, not only do students perform better, but it also sends a positive message that there is a strong partnership between families and BCCA in our vision of equipping our children to impact the world for Christ.

In 2010, BC Christian Academy implemented its first Parent Participation Program (PPP). The philosophy around the development of the PPP was to assist in developing a stronger Christian community, as well as reduce the financial constraints on the school through rallying our families to volunteer in the school. Each family commits to volunteering a set number of hours each year, as set by the Board of Directors.

The program has proven to be very successful. Families have found that through volunteer work, they have come to understand the heart of the school better while making new, long-lasting relationships.

Each family is required to complete 20 hours of volunteer work–10 hours by Jan 31st and the other 10 hours by June 30th. Parents must take individual responsibility for signing up for a PPP opportunity of their choice, and for ensuring that they track and accumulate the 10-hour minimum requirement per semester. For more information on PPP, please log in to the Parent Portal here.

Thank you in advance for considering this opportunity to get involved. We highly value your support and look forward to working together.

Parents in Prayer Group

Prayer is a vital ministry here at BCCA.  Our primary hope is that as a school community, we remain steadfast and faithful in prayer as we seek God’s spiritual leading and guidance over BCCA.

The BCCA Parent Prayer Group is a gathering of parents who come together to pray for its students, staff, and various concerns related to the school community.  Over the years of doing this communal prayer, we have borne witness to God’s tangible and faithful answers to many of our prayers. What a blessing to participate in God’s Kingdom-work and get a front-row seat to see Him move mightily in the midst of our school community through this ministry.

While prayer remains our primary focus, we also endeavour to create a nurturing space that fosters connections and cultivates God-honouring fellowship among parents who join us. We would love for more parents (even grandparents) to join our group and heed God’s command in 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 to “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

The Parents in the Prayer Group gather in-person on Friday mornings after the morning drop off inside the Staff Room. Confidentiality is highly encouraged and respected in this group.

For specific dates and times, please visit our website under BCCA Calendar.

Let us know how we can be praying for you, please share your prayer request (anonymity is respected).
