History
Aldergrove Christian Academy, formerly known as Rose of Sharon Academy, was formed in 1992 by a group of parents concerned about the educational options available for their children. Not only was there concern for their academic achievements, but also for their spiritual well-being and maturity. These concerns caused a group of parents to come together and establish the Rose of Sharon Academy.
As of June 30 2007 A.C.A. will be a Group 3 independant school registered in B.C. under the Independent School Act offering Bob Jones DVD School grades K-12 and registration of home-schooled students. A.C.A. operates as a ministry of Rose of Sharon Ministries, a registered B.C. charity.

6. Boys and girls have differing aptitudes; therefore, sensitivity to each child's uniqueness must be shown.
7. When children are grouped according to age, older role models are cut off and rebels usually rise to leadership.

8. When scriptural values are separated from courses, the content comes under the control of human reasoning.
II Timothy 16:17, Isaiah 55:8-9
