Your family’s place
on the Mountain.
In a school of 180 students, your child cannot fall through the cracks — and your family will never feel like a file number.
For 159 years, families have climbed this hill looking for the same thing — a school small enough to know their child.
The hello
A short form — name, grade, country. A named admissions counselor replies within one school day, and stays your single point of contact for the whole journey.
Say helloThe visit
A campus tour led by our admissions team, a class you sit in on, lunch in the dining hall — or a 30-minute virtual visit from anywhere on earth, in your time zone.
Book a visitThe money question
Applying for financial aid? Either answer is a good answer. Start with our estimator — six simple questions give you a realistic range in about a minute, no logins, no commitment. When you’re ready, the full Clarity aid application takes about 30 minutes.

One online application, transcripts, two recommendations. Testing optional. Complete your file by January 15 for first consideration and the full financial-aid pool.
See the checklistDecision day
Priority applicants hear first: your admission decision and your financial-aid award arrive together. If it’s a yes — and we hope it is — your enrollment packet and your counselor’s congratulations call follow the same week.
Move-in day
Airport pickup from JFK or Newark, your name on the door, your advisor at the curb, and 180 new classmates who’ll know your name by Friday. Welcome to the Mountain.
“You won’t be a file number here. From your first hello, a real person on our admissions team knows your name, remembers your questions, and stays with you the whole way up the Mountain.”
The Admissions Team
Five people — and one bulldog — will know your name by heart.
Meet the team that answers on the first ring — and stays with your family from first hello to move-in day.

Admissions, answered.
What grades does Storm King accept?
Grades 8 through 12 plus a postgraduate year, as boarding or day students.
When is the application deadline?
Our priority application deadline is January 15 for fall enrollment; applications are reviewed after that as space allows, and midyear (spring term) enrollment is possible when space remains.
How do I apply?
Begin with the online application on our Application Process page. If your family is applying for financial aid, that application runs alongside admission — and never counts against your child.
Does Storm King accept international students?
Yes — students of 23 nationalities live and study here this year. We issue I-20s, guide families through the visa process, and welcome international applications for need-based financial aid.
