2. Psychology, Health and Ethics
Programs, activities and schedules are designed to achieve harmonious development among students. For this reason candidates are required to be in good physical and mental health. Woodlands Academy must be informed of any health issues before arrival.
Living in a boarding school is a fun and transformative experience and comes with its own challenges. For that reason, applicants are asked to undergo a psychological evaluation with a psychologist appointed by Oak International.
3. Family Support
Parents of children admitted are asked to support the school’s moral formation by encouraging their child to comply with the standards and regulations of each academy. They are further asked to supply and complete accurate records for each candidate. Falsification of documentation will be grounds for their registration to be rejected and cancelled.
4. School Credit
Although it is important that all candidates maintain a positive attitude during their school courses, it is indispensable that all courses taken in previous school periods be accredited. Students will not be allowed to repeat passed or failed school courses. Our educational centers’ reputation for academic excellence requires that all candidates maintain an average grade of 75% to be considered for admittance. The following table expresses minimum overall average by country that a student must have reached to be eligible for admission.

5. Acceptance
The academy will send written acknowledgement by e-mail once the candidate has met the full requirements for admission. Incomplete admission applications will not be considered. Payment of the admission application fee and the full or partial advance payment for the selected courses does not guarantee a candidate´s acceptance.
After a candidate’s full documentation has been received, parents will receive the Acceptance Terms and Conditions booklet, which they must sign to acknowledge having read and agreed to it. Once returned the admission application enters the review process, at which time the candidate is considered for admittance.
