Intentionally small — grades 8 through PG, on the mountain, an hour from New York City.
Intentionally small.
Boundlessly open.
With students from around the world and a community small enough to know every name, Storm King is a place where young people are truly seen — challenged, supported, and free to try. Here, the mountain isn’t a backdrop. It’s a classroom.
One hour from New York City.
A world of its own.
Seven hundred feet above the Hudson, on the mountain that gives us our name — room to breathe, to wander, and to think.
Every path up the mountain.

Outcomes that speak for themselves.
Recent Storm King graduates, in their own words — now studying at some of the most selective colleges and universities in the world.
“I am deeply grateful to Storm King for providing me with the tools and resources to thrive as a student-athlete and as a person. To the SKS community who have left an unfordable mark on my journey – thank you. Your belief in me, your encouragement and your dedication to my growth have shaped me in ways that are truly unexplainable.”
“The curiosity and confidence I discovered at Storm King—where science was hands-on and deeply personal—ignited my passion for understanding how things work and how people heal. That foundation continues to guide me as I pursue my medical education at UChicago.”
“To my teachers—I could speak endlessly about how grateful I am to each of you. Your dedication, encouragement, and passion have been among the most powerful influences on my journey and have shaped the person I am today.”
“It's been quite a whirlwind at Cornell, where I'm pursuing the performing arts, and I owe much of my inspiration and drive to my time at Storm King.”
“During four years at The Storm King School, I learned from a diverse international community and was guided by exceptional faculty who encouraged me to grow as both a student and a leader. I helped raise funds for nonprofit causes and captained the varsity soccer team—experiences that shaped my curiosity, confidence, and sense of purpose, which I now carry with me at Cornell University.”
“My time on the Mountain shaped me for the better. The tight-knit community at SKS provided the perfect foundation before I stepped out into the wider world. Among my most cherished memories are the countless moments of kindness, patience, and dedication shown by my teachers. They consistently met us where we were—challenging us to grow while understanding our individual needs. I hope to one day have the same kind of impact on others that my teachers at SKS had on me.”
“Storm King is where creativity, ambition, and growth know no bounds—there's no limit to what you can achieve. The experiences and connections I made at Storm King were just the beginning of some of the most meaningful bonds in my life. Storm King has been, and will always be, my second home, and I'm deeply proud of that. I'm truly grateful to have SKS with me on this journey.”
“Storm King's caring teachers and diverse international community empowered me to embrace different perspectives and gave me the confidence to explore the world fearlessly.”
This is what it looks like.
Busy seven days a week. Fed like family.
Full schedules don’t stop on Friday — and neither does the kitchen.
Weekend Adventures
Manhattan museums, galleries, Broadway, and big games — trips leave the mountain every single weekend.

Two worlds.
Storm King sits on its own mountaintop above the Hudson — wilderness at the door, and the greatest city on earth less than an hour away. Few schools anywhere can offer both.
