Woodstock School

Woodstock aims to develop responsible global citizens and leaders by providing a world-class international education, rooted in its Christian heritage and values, for a diverse group of students, especially from families in Christian or public service, in an Indian Himalayan environment.

Woodstock School was founded by Christian people in 1854, and for the majority of its history primarily served the needs of missions and families engaged in social service in India. This heritage continues today in the school's commitment to values of excellence, personal responsibility, and service, and in our special calling to continue to educate the children of families in Christian or public service - a purpose to which we devote substantial student financial aid.

Woodstock believes that education transforms lives, and that transformed people can make a difference in their societies and in the world by working for tolerance, understanding, justice, equity and compassion. Living and learning in a diverse community allows us to recognise our common humanity and promotes practical understanding. We believe that Christian ideals, values and faith are a solid foundation for life, and that, among other things, these ideals and values encourage a sense of responsibility for ourselves, for one another, and for the world.

Our values are common to many other educational institutions: the development of moral character, self-esteem and a sense of responsibility; the fulfilment of academic and leadership potential; critical, analytical and independent thinking; well-rounded, balanced and healthy living; appreciation for what is true, good and beautiful in one's own and other cultures. We believe that Woodstock provides a physical, social and spiritual environment in which these values can be more than just words, but can become part of the lives of our students.
