You get a chance to work with people and students of all cultures; there is a lot to learn from diversity. It's spectacular in terms of surrounding beauty! The culture is more western so not so much a top down heirarchical attitude as a collaborative one.

You also make friends from all over the world....Read More

It's hard for young folks used to an urban culture to adapt to a more rural culture. I went there in my late 40s so i loved the change of pace, but many could not adapt.

I worked there for 11 years. I did not get much of a handover, so had to figure things out on my own. But i grew and learnt immensely while there. Made friends from all over the world. The Woodstock community will always be there for you!

Welfare of the staff is one of the top priority of the school. In these times of pandemic, it allowed all the staff to work from home to keep the teachers safe. The school should consider to give a contract of 5 years to the teachers who have completed 2 years of service.

I think Woodstock is among the best international schools not only in India but all over the world . The cultural diversity among the staff and the students and the overall physical environment of the school is something which is hard to find elsewhere in India.

Dislikes

I have yet to find anything to dislike about the school.

Work Details

Since school is currently operating through the distance learning mode , the online learning environment makes things taxing even though it's work from home. Still I think the school ensures that teachers have adequate time for themselves and their family
