The Rock Church was started by Miles McPherson on February 27, 2000. Miles holds a Master of Divinity degree and has over sixteen years experience in full-time ministry. He is also President and founder of Miles Ahead Crusades.
Leaders of the Rock Church including Pastor Miles and Dr. Richard Andujo founded the Rock Academy after concentrated prayer over six months. In 2001, the Rock Church formulated a plan to open a new, private Christian school within San Diego. After a long search for accommodations, a temporary location was found to house the school, renting facilities from Calvary Southern Baptist Church at 6866 Linda Vista Rd., San Diego, CA 92111. In April, 2002, one administrator and one support staff moved into office space at this school location and began to interview possible students and faculty.
In September, 2002, the Rock Academy opened its doors to 38 K 6th grade students with a stand alone Kindergarten class, and combination classes for 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th, and 5th/6th which accounted for 1 administrator, 1 support staff, and 4 teachers. The preschool had 1 director, 1 assistant director and 3.5 teachers. By the end of the academic year, 2003, the Academy had grown to 50 students and one additional support staff, while the preschool gained another 44 youngsters. In September, 2003, the Rock Academy opened the 7th and 8th grades as the school continued to expand in students and staff.
The Academy moved to its new home in Point Loma in August 2007 and launched its high school. As of September 2011, the preschool through 12th grade had grown to 426 students!
To God be the glory for the great things He has accomplished to date in and through the Rock Academy.
