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!
