A traditional curriculum enhanced by co-curricular programs and a strong emphasis on moral development prepares students for higher education. With a 7-1 student-faculty ratio, the accent is on providing an educational environment, which is both supportive and challenging. The varied college-preparatory curriculum seeks to stimulate students to stretch themselves by building on their strengths while realistically acknowledging and addressing their weaknesses. Personal growth is encouraged as well through the arts, athletics, activities (including an outdoor-environmental program) and community living.

We play games to win. This is certainly true of every athletic program. Yet, victory is hollow unless achieved with honor. So it is that at The Storm King School we develop character through conduct and integrity of performance. By focusing on effort, and developing the courage in each student to takes risks and make mistakes, we are redefining what it means to be a winner.

We stress the process rather than the result. Our athletes should know their potential for greatness, yet understand their humanity in committing errors. Thus we can help our students gain self-respect. Moreover, by realizing accomplishments on the playing field, they will know how to seek success in other areas, such as academics. Storm King athletes know the purpose of a game and that each must practice and internalize sportsmanship.
