Section 1: Welcome

With this edition of The Crest, The Storm King School’s student and parent handbook, we would like to welcome you to The Storm King School and to provide the information you will need for the upcoming school year.

This handbook contains information necessary for students and parents to understand both what is important to Storm King in terms of behavior and community, and all of the structures and processes that help govern our daily lives here at the School. Sections in this handbook include Academics, Student Life, Residential Life, and Discipline. This guide serves as a reference for students and parents detailing the expectations of The Storm King School.

Please understand that no set of rules or guidelines can cover every conceivable situation that might arise at a school. The rules, policies, and procedures set forth in this handbook are intended to apply under most circumstances. From time to time, there may be situations that require responses not fully outlined here. This handbook does not limit the authority of The Storm King School to deviate from the rules and procedures set forth in this handbook, and to deal with individual circumstances as they arise in the manner deemed most appropriate by the School, taking into consideration the best interests of the School, its faculty, employees, students, or overall school community. The policies may also be revised or updated periodically during the school year. All changes in policy will be communicated directly to parents and guardians. Any student or parent with a question about any policy statement should feel free to speak with the Assistant Head of School for Student Life, the Dean of Academics, or the Head of School. We are proud to be a part of an ongoing tradition of excellence in education at The Storm King School. Each member of our community is valued at Storm King, and each of us is most likely to achieve our goals when the framework in which we are living and working is clear, our responsibilities apparent, and our purpose shared. This handbook will help clarify our shared purpose and individual responsibilities.
