The SAGE Program offers a unique international
high school exchange program in which students
in grades 10-12 have the opportunity to
spend an academic semester or year at a
top-rated international school.
Whether you opt for Woodstock
School, set in the foothills of the
Himalayan mountains in North India, or for
Kodaikanal
International School
in the tropical hills of South India, the
exceptional international curriculum allows
you to receive full high school credit for
all courses you take, and stay on track
to apply to American colleges or universities.
Besides academics, students on the SAGE
Program take advantage of incredible extra-curricular
activities: you can study Indian music or
dance, trek in the Himalayas, boat on Kerala’s
famous backwaters, or volunteer for community
service projects. A highlight of the SAGE
year is the month-long Winter
Tour, a cultural tour of India during
the winter vacation.
"Through the SAGE Program I grew personally. Others who are willing to
experience the unknown can do the
same.
It is an unforgettable experience!"

SAGE offers custom-designed educational
trips to India for school groups throughout
the year. SAGE has been running international

1992 and has a time-tested and well-established

educator who wants to introduce international
awareness, global citizenship, and broader
perspectives to your students, a SAGE custom

and making all the arrangements for you.

Our History:
 The
SAGE Program was started in 1992 as an affiliate
of KW International, Inc., an educational
non-profit organization dedicated to supporting
the goals and objectives of Woodstock School
and Kodaikanal International School. Since
our inception, we have held to the belief
that international travel and study is fundamental
to a crucial awareness of global citizenship.
Over the years, SAGE has sent hundreds of
students to India with the goal of providing
them with a deeply transformative experience.
We continue with that today.
