Whytecliff Agile Learning Centres ADMISSIONS

Many schools also require interviews with prospective students. Schools also use different criteria for evaluating student applications, have different acceptance rates, and target different kinds of students.

What type of student Whytecliff is looking for:

Whytecliff considers applications of any child in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley, age 13-18, who is not being successful or engaged in school. The majority of children we accept have challenges with anxiety & depression and are seeking an environment where they can feel safe ⎯ a real school offering Dogwood and Evergreen graduation that doesn’t seem remedial or like an ‘alternative school’, and a place where they can begin to relax, feel normal, and develop their personal abilities and self-esteem. Many of the children who are successful and qualify for acceptance at Whytecliff have been labelled within a diagnosed category such as: –ADHD –FASD –Dyslexia –Dyscalculia –Dysgraphia –Language Processing Disorder –Nonverbal Learning Disorders –Visual Perceptual/Visual Motor Deficit –Chronic Health Impairment –Gifted –High Functioning Autism –Asperger’s Syndrome –Behavioral and Emotional Challenges –Troubled Behavior –Clinical Depression –Clinical Anxiety –Suicidal Thoughts –Drug and Alcohol Abuse –Oppositional Defiant Disorder If you don’t see your child’s challenge listed above, that doesn’t mean they won’t qualify; we have a policy of actively considering all applications to the program.

 

What people say about the Admissions

I wish that I had gotten my son in there a year earlier. It took me a while to find this school, maybe because I was relying too much on Google. But over the years, I was always looking for different alternatives for my son because I knew that the general school system wasn't fitting the bill for him. He was falling through the gaps and he was falling hard.
—Jill Craven, parent (beginning in Gr. 8) (see full interview)
Many of our families, when they find us, are at their wits’ end. We’re often the school that they have come to because they’ve tried many other places and have sadly found little success in those other places. So by the time we see many of our families, they are quite desperate, sometimes worried and skeptical. They’re wondering ‘How can you be any different’? They’re concerned and worried because this may yet be the fourth or fifth school their kids have tried. They’re thinking ‘please let this be the one’.
—Ilona Davidson, Principal (see full interview)
The biggest thing we both felt, when we visited the school, was that it was very open and relaxed, and not rigid, very welcoming, accepting, no pushing to talk if you didn't want to. We went and interviewed. And I'd had a couple of preliminary discussions with the staff on the phone. We knew there were youth workers, we knew there were educators there who had a lot of experience with kids who were neurodiverse, had mental health issues. It was just amazing, when my son and I both went; it was a completely different feeling.
—Erica Williams, parent (see full interview)
