Discover What Moves You

School should be exciting and meaningful. At Whytecliff, we make learning come to life. Through project-based learning, students explore real-world challenges and dive into hands-on projects that spark their curiosity and passion. Whether it’s building a sustainable system, working with community groups, or developing new skills, your child will experience learning in a way that feels purposeful and rewarding.

Be Part of Something Real

At Whytecliff, your child won’t just be another face in the crowd. They’ll be part of a close-knit community where friendships are built, support is constant, and everyone is working toward the same goal: growth. With small class sizes and a team of caring educators, your child will get the attention they need to push through obstacles, take on challenges, and achieve their personal best.

Reach Your True Potential

Whytecliff is not just about getting good grades—it’s about becoming the best version of yourself. With a personalized learning plan, your child will focus on their strengths, tackle challenges, and work toward their goals. Whether it’s earning their high school diploma, preparing for a career, or finding a passion they want to pursue, we’re with them every step of the way. 90% of our graduates are successfully engaged in work, school, or trades programs within months of graduation.

A Place to Grow and Feel at Home

Imagine a school where your child feels seen, heard, and truly supported. At Whytecliff, we create a safe, inclusive environment where students are empowered to grow at their own pace. Whether they need help with academics, social skills, or managing stress, we’re here for them. We focus on personal growth and strengths-based support so they can leave feeling more confident and capable, ready for whatever comes next.

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.

What our students think

They like to encourage you to do things that you like, that you may not have done at any other school, which makes it kind of exciting to come to school.

Isabel -

It’s like a rehab facility for your soul. You are here to do school, but you just find out so much about yourself and what you’re actually capable of. It really just lets you discover who you are.

Sophie -

Without this program I would have dropped out and probably become a drug dealer. When I first came here I was always fighting with my mom. Now we have a much better relationship because I know how to communicate.

Nathan -

“I have no idea what my life would be like without Whytecliff. I could be a drop out, doing nothing with my life, or ended up in jail doing drugs. All I know is that I would not be graduating without them.”

Carl -

I found the right community at this school, people who understand me and I am glad I found it.

Jonathon -

I would not be graduating if this program didn’t exist. The teachers and staff here make it possible to graduate under very difficult circumstances. They give you one to one help and create assignments that are specific to how you like to learn. I couldn’t have done any of this without them. They help you with problems in your life
that aren’t about school, making it easier to succeed.
