Q-Term
Q-Term, short for “Quest-Term,” is a Storm King School Signature Courses – a selection of short, intensive courses offered in addition to the regular academic schedule and often outside the classroom. Q-Term is designed to allow students and faculty to collaborate, create, innovate, think critically, and solve problems while on a quest for knowledge in their subject of choice. The School’s 2023 Q-Term will take place right after final exams on May 18-26, 2023.
This year, our faculty has created an engaging roster of Q-Term courses for our students to choose from. To learn more about each course being offered, students attended a Q-Term Fair held in Orr Commons where they were able to as questions and get more information before making their choices. From the sciences and engineering to the arts; from the environment and outdoors to social sciences and business, our students will be sure to find a course that will spark one of their interests and passions! Detailed descriptions and important information about each of the courses can be found below:
