Founded in 1854, Woodstock is one of Asia’s oldest and most renowned international schools. Located in the forested foothills of the Himalaya, the school is a non-profit, co-educational residential school for Grades K-12. Woodstock combines the very best features of a rigorous academic programme with a formative approach to the personal development of young people. Graduation requirements insist upon student engagement beyond academic excellence, including outdoor education and community interaction. An established financial aid programme enables students to join Woodstock from all corners of the globe and from all walks of life.

Our location provides an opportunity for social responsibility which meaningfully addresses some of the most pressing issues of the 21st century: creed, culture, poverty, inequality and access to the basic essentials of human life. The school graduates students who are excited by the possibility of change, motivated to act through personal example and who have an understanding of themselves and of their roles in a global society.
