Frequently Asked Questions

You should apply for Culinary, IT, Medical, and Cambridge Academies through the Choice application. You can participate in Cambridge instruction without the Choice Lottery if you are zoned for Woodlands, because we are a Cambridge International School.

The benefit to applying for the Cambridge Academy is for families that live out of boundary, because they have an opportunity to get a seat at Woodlands, especially if their elective preference is other than IT, Culinary, and Medical. Global Perspectives elective option is only for those who applied through Choice lottery.

You can participate in two academies if space permits, which uses both choices on application. Submit the Google Form application found on our web page.
