As The Storm King School’s 157th school year gets underway, our community has much to celebrate. Once again, SKS has kicked off the fall semester strong, welcoming an exceptional group of students comprised of 170 young scholars from 20 countries and nine states. With 123 boarding students and 47 day students gracing our scenic mountain campus, Storm King is poised for another great year.

According to our Assistant Head for Admissions and Marketing, Marek Pramuka, Storm King is welcoming one of the most gifted groups of students the School has ever worked with: “Our admissions team is thrilled with the depth of talent, diversity of backgrounds, and academic promise represented in this year’s student body. Each new class brings a fresh sense of energy and ambition, and this year is no exception.”

Mr. Pramuka is confident that the diversity of experiences and perspectives these students bring will not only enrich their own learning but also enhance the collective experience of the entire community. Among the incoming class are aspiring artists, athletes, engineers, and leaders-all eager to make their mark at The Storm King School. From musicians who have performed on international stages to scholars who have competed in national science competitions to athletes who are attracting the attention of NCAA coaches, their accomplishments reflect the broad spectrum of talent.

This year’s cohort includes students excelling in fields as diverse as robotics, environmental sustainability, theater, and athletics. “Our student body this year includes a record number of students enrolling in advanced courses in STEM fields, while the arts program continues to grow with a wealth of young talent joining our Performing and Visual Arts program,” adds Mr. Pramuka. “With new faces filling the classrooms and dormitories, the school community is already buzzing with the promise of new ideas and collaborations.

The fall semester also marks the return of many beloved traditions at Storm King, including the annual Mountain Day hike and our vibrant arts showcases. With such an impressive and dynamic student body, we expect this year to be one of unparalleled achievement both in and out of the classroom. We’re excited to see how these students will challenge themselves, support each other, and thrive in the unique environment that makes The Storm King School special.”

As the School begins another remarkable school year, the faculty, staff, and returning students are eager to support this talented new class as they embark on their journey at SKS.
