The Storm King School

Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, USA
Co-Ed, No Religious Affiliation

view map request catalog

Founded in 1867, The Storm King School celebrates a 150 years of helping students translate potential into success as they prepare for college and meaningful lives.

Located at the peak of Storm King Mountain in the Hudson River Valley, The Storm King School's 60 acre campus is just about an hour north of New York City. As an independent co-ed boarding and day school for students in grades 8-12 and PG, we represent 26 countries this year! We are proud to be one of the few schools in the country that has a 5:1 student/faculty ratio with an average class size of 10 students. With this great ratio, we focus on providing an individualized educational environment that is both supportive and challenging to each student.

The SKS education is highly experiential and often happens outside of classroom walls. Our teachers often utilize our surrounding resources of New York City, The Storm King Arts Center, or the 3,800 acre Black Rock Forest across the street to name a few. Our diverse college preparatory curriculum (including 11 AP courses; at least 1 in every subject area) stimulates our students and immerses them in a highly engaging education.

Personal growth is also provided through championship & no-cut athletics, superb performing, visual and fine arts, a wide variety of extra-curricular and weekend activities, and community living that is "one big family." At SKS, we attribute our success and 100% college acceptance rate to small classes, individualized attention and a nurturing learning environment.

The Storm King School campus has three academic classroom buildings (including a study center with smart boards in each classroom), theatre (230-seat capacity), observatory (with Newtonian telescope), arts center (including a state-of-the-art digital design lab and 3D printer), dance studio, ceramics studio, gymnasium with a wrestling room, cardio fitness center & weight room, fencing studio, two athletic fields, two rock climbing walls, five dormitories, dining hall (with extensive home-cooked menu options and a view that overlooks the Hudson River/Shawangunk Ridge/Catskill Mountain Ranges) and much more!

Summary: Welcome all students and parents,

For 150 years, The Storm King School has been a thriving community of scholars, athletes, and artists. Our core values of truth, respect, and responsibility bring out the very best in each of our students, both in and out of the classroom.

The Storm King School is a true boarding school - about 70 percent of our students live on campus. The residential experience at Storm King educates the whole student, both in and out of the classroom. The residence experience builds a strong community through evening and weekend activities, such as community service opportunities, arts and cultural trips, hiking and rock climbing at many others. The student activities committee keeps dorm life active with pizza study breaks, dances, concerts, and much more.

Living on campus helps our students to get to know their teachers better because most faculty members also live there. In fact, up to 20 faculty members are active in each dorm as advisers, residents, coaches - and there’s at least one faculty apartment on each floor of every dormitory.

Our focus at SKS is on individual development. Our programs are designed to facilitate that development. We believe that students learn best in a supportive and safe environment, and we challenge our students every day to continue to improve. Please take a look at the exciting descriptions of the activities and opportunities available to SKS students and feel free to contact us with any questions. See you on the mountain!

Summary: https://sks.org/signature-courses/

To support our mission of preparing students for college life and beyond, educators here on the Mountain have instituted approaches to learning that are proven to add depth and breadth to the secondary school curriculum. These include interdisciplinary courses, experiential education, project-based learning and a student-centered approach in the classroom, and Quest Terms (Q-Terms).

Q-Terms are short, intensive courses where students and faculty have the chance to collaborate, create, innovate, think critically and solve problems while immersed in subject matter that sparks their passion and curiosity.
