Student Life

Summary: You can learn a lot about life at Steamboat Mountain School by dropping in on one of their many all-school conversations.

Whether it is a Campfire Talk, All-School Meeting, The Penguin Huddle, or one of their unique speaker series learning through their community is unforgettable.

During Penguin Huddle, students, faculty, and staff gather from their most recent class, morning chores, office, or dorm around the open, three-story wood interior of the Main Building. A building constructed by students and teachers. Community members offer announcements, updates, news of things on the horizon: the service trip that afternoon, the study session for the AP test, the meeting for film class, skiers results from competitions over the weekend and more.
