What is an Academic Concentration?
At The Woodstock Academy, students don’t have to wait until college to explore what excites them most. An Academic Concentration allows students to dive deeper into an area they’re passionate about—while still completing a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum. Graduates earn an Academic Concentration designation on their transcript, signaling to colleges and universities that they are intellectually curious, motivated, and prepared for advanced study.
