The Woodstock Academy is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Michael Harten, Dean of Academics, as its next Principal. The appointment reflects The Academy’s confidence in Dr. Harten’s exceptional qualifications, strong leadership, and deep commitment to teaching and learning.

The Woodstock Academy was named to the 2025 AP School Honor Roll at the Bronze level! The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results and broadening participation for students.

When it comes to college admissions, strong grades and test scores certainly matter, but they’re only part of the picture. Colleges also want to see students who are curious, motivated, collaborative, and engaged in their communities. That’s where extracurricular activities shine.

The ideal school day should not only maximize learning but also nurture student well-being, engagement, and growth. At WA, our collegiate-style, two-semester block schedule provides exactly that. Students take four to six classes per semester, allowing them to focus more deeply on each subject while having flexibility to explore their interests.

If you ask a family why they chose The Woodstock Academy for their child’s education, their answers are often rooted in one of two things: a desire for more or a need for something different.
