WOODSTOCK — Students, faculty and staff look forward to the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year at The Woodstock Academy and the many opportunities the acquisition of South Campus will bring. In addition to nearly 900 day students, students from 14 countries and nine states will make up The Woodstock Academy student body. These students represent countries like Vietnam and Rwanda and states like California and Illinois. There will be more than 120 students living at South Campus with more expected for the second semester - an increase of nearly 35 percent in the number of boarding students choosing to study at The Woodstock Academy.
Head of School Chris Sandford said: “Our strong enrollment numbers are a testament to the larger community and the support The Academy gets from our area. Our program and our ability to meet our mission has been heightened by the addition of South Campus. As we move forward, the benefit of this historic addition, to all students and stakeholders will be unmeasurable.”
The additional campus allows for dedicated spaces for chorus, band, rehearsals, the recording studio, visual arts, world languages, and other spaces for the entire student body. Sandford said, “With the historic expansion of The Academy, our offerings have never been stronger. All students, whether from a sending town or not, will be able to explore an academic area of their choosing in ways that they have never been able to do before.”
Design has also begun on the art gallery, which will be home to artwork of students, alumni, and other local artists.
The expansion creates space on North Campus for a new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) Center.
This opens the doors for new classes like architectural engineering, aerospace technology, and robotics.
All students will benefit from increased offerings in intramurals and after school activities.
Athletics has gained an additional turf field, a second full-sized gymnasium, a second weight room, training room, and other recreational spaces.
