Why Choose Whytecliff?

  • Learning That Fits Your Child:  At Whytecliff, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We create  personalized learning plans  based on your child's strengths, interests, and goals. Whether they excel in technology, arts, or any other field, we tailor the learning experience to make it exciting and engaging for them. Our approach works not only for students on IEPs who require  extra support  but also for those who are  gifted  and need  challenging opportunities  to stay engaged and continue growing.
  • Small Classes, Big Results:  With one of the lowest  student-to-educator ratios  in the province (less than 5:1), our programs provide the individualized attention every student deserves. This means more one-on-one support, more engagement, and a deeper connection to learning. Whether your child needs additional academic support or is looking for an  alternative learning environment  in  Langley or  Burnaby, we are here to meet their needs.
  • A Community that Truly Cares:  At Whytecliff, we're more than just a school. We're a community where every student is valued and encouraged to grow. We welcome students from a variety of backgrounds, including those with  diverse learning needs,  social/emotional challenges, and  special needs students in Langley, Burnaby, and beyond.  Your child will be supported academically, socially, and emotionally, helping them feel seen, understood, and ready to thrive.
  • A Track Record You Can Trust: For over  30 years, Whytecliff has been a leader in education. As the  only schools in the Province of BC accredited as Positive Youth Development programs by CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitational Facilities), we've built a reputation for supporting students through personalized, empathetic, and flexible learning approaches that work for teens with a wide range of learning needs and personal challenges. Our special needs education programs  in  Burnaby  and  Langley  have helped students overcome challenges and succeed in ways traditional systems can’t always provide.
