Talk:Woodstock School

Editing Woodstock page, content needed...

Somebody may want to look at the historical details of the page; I am a WS alumn, and have not found anything in the old page content that has not been valid. At some point, it appears that somebody decided that there was "too much" information on that page and cleared out a bunch of it. Currently this is now a "stub" level page. From one extreme to another; somewhat frustrating...

At the very least, a level of information equivalent to that of Woodstock 'sister' school Kodaikanal should be in here...

I recently trimmed a large amount of unsourced information. Given that the article has been tagged for lacking sourcing for over a year, this seemed to be in order. I agree that the article needs more information, but more specifically it needs -sourced- information. Doniago (talk) 18:43, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Outdated information

I work for Woodstock School so can't update the page, but some of the information is out of date.

Information Grades - This should be KG-12 (rather than 5-12).

Introduction ...with a residence programme beginning in Grade 5.

This should change to Grade 6 as Woodstock no longer offers boarding to Grade 5 students.

History

Paragraph 2 A year-abroad study program was instituted to keep a North American presence in the school as the missionary population declined. First called the "Package Program," it has been part of the SAGE (Studies Abroad for Global Education) network[5] since 1992, and has been closely allied with the Friends of Woodstock and its predecessor organizations in North America.

This information is no longer relevant and should be deleted. Woodstock is no longer part of the SAGE programme.

Paragraph 4 Current: In recent years, Woodstock has placed a priority on its academic programming with renovations to classrooms and laboratories, the introduction of contemporary classes such as Environmental Sciences, an increase in the number of US Advanced Placement examinations offered to and taken by seniors, and the requirement for all students to take the Cambridge University IGCSE examinations in Grade 10.

This has changed with the move to the IB curriculum.

Suggested: In recent years, Woodstock has placed a priority on its academic programming with renovations to classrooms and laboratories, and a move to the International Baccalaureate curriculum. Woodstock officially became an International Baccalaureate World School in May 2019, with full authorisation for both the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP). The Class of 2021 will be the first Woodstock students to graduate with both an American High School Diploma and the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

Affiliations Round Square should be removed as Woodstock is no longer a member.

International Baccalaureate should be added. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Baccalaureate
