International students

Woodstock Union High School is SEVIS-approved and sponsors F-1 students, welcoming high school students from around the world.

• Students with an F1 student visa can study for credit and apply for graduation. To graduate, students must spend their senior year at Woodstock High School. Each student will be assigned an adviser who will provide guidance on cultural adjustment and academic advising.

• Upon successful completion of their studies, students are eligible to apply to U.S. higher education institutions. Our counseling department is fully available to assist students with their college preparation needs.

We are dedicated to offering a quality educational experience tailored to the individual needs of our international students. We also provide opportunities for students to share their unique cultures with our community, enriching the experience for everyone.

We look forward to supporting you on your educational journey and helping you achieve your goals.
