Student Life
Find your thing.
Character is built in the doing — in the mud of a morning trail, in the hush before the curtain rises, in the first club you start because it didn't exist yet. After class, the Mountain opens up. Here's everything waiting for you.
01
Room to become.
A student body from 24 countries and faculty who've done the things they teach make for a wide horizon. You'll be encouraged to try the sport you've never played, pick up the instrument you always meant to, and speak up in the club nobody's founded yet. Nothing here is spectator-only.
Fifty-plus ways in
02
Afternoons: find-yourself time.
When classes end, the day turns to you. Athletics, outdoor education, and the arts fill the afternoons — a chance to sweat, build, rehearse, climb, and get good at something new. It's not filler between academics; for a lot of students it's where Storm King clicks.
03
Weekends: the city and the wild, on rotation.
One weekend it's Broadway, the Met, and a slice in the city. The next it's rock climbing in the Shawangunks or first tracks in the Catskills. Every adventure ends the same way: back home on the Mountain, together.
Where weekends go
“The hardest part of an afternoon here isn’t finding something to do — it’s choosing between the three things you already love.”
— A current Storm King student
04
Thursday Night Speaker Series.
One Thursday night a month, someone worth listening to comes up the Mountain — authors, artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, and alumni who've built lives worth hearing about. They tell the real story, take your questions, and stick around. And some months, the person at the front is a student.
05
The Roy Leadership Series.
Leadership isn't taught from a slide. Through the Roy Leadership Series, students sit face to face with accomplished leaders and dig into the hard parts — how you actually decide, build a team, and hold your character when it counts.
06
Clubs, by design student-led.
The best clubs at Storm King started because a student wanted them to exist. If yours isn't on this list yet, that's an opening, not a no.
