Woodstock School is a Christian, international, co-educational, residential school located in Landour, a small hill station contiguous with the town of Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India.

Woodstock is among the more well-known boarding schools of the Indian subcontinent and south Asia, especially among those with significant numbers of expatriate students and teachers. (Others are the Kodaikanal International School, the Hebron School, Ooty both of which are in South India.) It provides Kindergarten thru Grade 12 instruction, with the residence program starting later in elementary school.

Academics

Woodstock provides several options for its graduating students. As the school is accredited by the Middle States Association, the standard Woodstock diploma is equivalent to that of a U.S. high school diploma. The school is a testing center for College Board exams, including the SAT and Advanced Placement tests. Additionally, IGCSE exams and preparation are offered at Woodstock.[2] The school also prepares students for continuing education in India with the Woodstock Indian Marksheet, which is accepted by the Association of Indian Universities as an equivalent to the 10+2 stage in the Indian education system.[3][4]

Woodstock is a partner along with Kodaikanal International School in the Studies Abroad for a Global Education (SAGE) Program, which encourages students from countries around the world to study at Woodstock or Kodai in effort to better understand the world and different cultures.[5]
