The 156th school year at The Storm King School is slated to be a great one as we welcome 170 students from 21 countries and 13 states with nearly an equal number of boys and girls. Our student body is made up of 124 boarding students and 46 day learners. According to the Assistant Head for Admissions and Marketing, Marek Pramuka, the School’s enrollment is extremely strong once again this year.
“This year, we are welcoming one of the most gifted groups of students we have ever worked with. Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends, we have been able to provide scholarships in excess of $2.3M to aid qualified students in accessing a Storm King School education; students who would otherwise not be able to afford the cost of our tuition. As a result, The Storm King School’s student body, once again, ranks among the most diverse both in terms of demographics as well as socioeconomics,” explained Mr. Pramuka.
“We have an outstanding group of teenagers coming to our campus. Among them are nationally ranked tennis and soccer players, students with nearly perfect SAT scores, and budding musicians and entrepreneurs. A number of our students return to campus after completing summer science camps for the gifted at some of our nation’s top universities. We also continue to attract brilliant student-artists; kids who dream of careers in the field of architecture, fashion design, theater, and dance. One of our rising seniors has just committed to play NCAA basketball at Yale University, contingent upon acceptance.
“One of the figures that makes me extremely proud is that our reenrollment* eclipsed 85% which ranks among the highest within boarding schools in the Northeast. This speaks volumes as to the level of education we provide for our students and their overall happiness and satisfaction with our school.” This success is due to the strong reputation The Storm King School has built both domestically and globally. Our students are inspired and supported by our exceptional faculty and staff. They are immersed in a nurturing environment where they are encouraged to dream big and reach for the stars. As a result, they attend great colleges which are outcomes families across the globe seek out,” he continued.
*The number of students continuing to be enrolled at Storm King from one year to the next expressed as a percentage of the total number of students eligible to continue their enrollment.
