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 provides Kindergarten through Grade 12 instruction, with the residence program starting later in elementary school.
The Government of India issued a postage stamp on the school in 2004.[2]
Woodstock has a reciprocal agreement with Carey Baptist Grammar School in Melbourne, Australia, whereby each year, two students from both schools are awarded the William Carey Scholarship and given the opportunity to swap schools for a semester.[3]
