The average student at WAS beats to their own drum. The typical student enrolled in our programs love the outdoors, 

mountains and an active lifestyle with an inner desire to share this through their art and love of technology.

Whistler’s reputation as the world’s best bike park as well as home to some of the best skiing and snowboarding lends itself to people who are active, driven and enthusiastic about pursuing their dreams.

WAS enables these endeavors by offering courses that bring the classroom to the world.
