Visa

Participants who are not Indian, Bhutanese, or Nepali nationals require a student visa, issued by the local Indian Consulate General or its associated visa agency. The school is happy to support this application process through providing a letter and a copy of the school’s registration. A scanned copy of the participant’s passport is required by Woodstock in order to issue these documents. Please do not hesitate to email summer@woodstock.ac.in for support in applying for visas.

Healthcare and safety

What medical cover is there at Woodstock? 

Woodstock has its own medical staff and health centre and there will be a 24/7 nurse present during the summer programme. There is a small local hospital near to the school which can treat minor injuries and we use the Max Specialty Hospital in Dehradun for major illnesses and emergencies. 

  

Will my child be safe at Woodstock? 

We have 24/7 security all around our campus. We take security very seriously at school and that is why our school’s child protection policy is updated often and applied not just during normal school hours but also during our summer programme. All external staff must read and sign this policy before they are contracted.
