The school has north and south campuses, across the road from each other. The north campus used to be attended by students who had different levels and types of capabilities than those of the south campus. The school now acts as a whole, and students can take classes at North or South campus. The north campus offers hands-on technical programs such as hairdressing, child care, autobody and carpentry, as well as classes for students with a wide range of disabilities, and English Language Learner programs (ELL), and is the location for recognized Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Programs (OYAP) and the Ford Academy of Manufacturing Sciences (FAMS). White Oaks also offers French at the immersion level, as well as the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme.[5] In the Fraser Institute's report on Ontario schools for the 2019–2020 year, the school was ranked 21 out of 739 secondary schools with an overall rating of 8.6/10.[6]
