The campus of Woodstock is set in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. It is spread over an area of about 250 acres (1.0 km²) and is located in a forest region with a variety of flora, including pine, rhododendron and oak. The terrain of the campus has an altitudinal range of 350 meters from its lowest point to the highest point. It houses the Vera Marley Library.

[edit] 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 and provides instruction in preparation for AP exams. Additionally, IGCSE exams and preparation are offered at Woodstock during grade 10. 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.

Woodstock runs on the IGCSE and AP system. In 10th grade, students are required to take a number of IGCSE examinations. In 11th and 12th grade, all students must take and AP English course and, in 12th grade, typically take an AP science course (most AP science courses are taught in two years).

Woodstock is a partner along with Kodaikanal International School in the 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.

Woodstock also has a reciprocal agreement with Carey Baptist Grammar School (Australia) whereby each year 2 students from both schools are awarded the William Carey Scholarship and given the opportunity swap schools for a semester.
