The Storm King School

The Storm King School, founded in 1867, enrolls 185 students in grades 8 through 12. The school draws learners from across the United States and 25 countries. Located in Cornwall on Hudson, New York, the campus overlooks the Hudson River and sits within 6,000 acres of protected forest. Black Rock Forest and Storm King State Park surround the grounds and shape the teaching mission.

Faculty at The Storm King School teach small classes and live the boarding school model fully. Most residential faculty live on or near campus and lead dormitory life. They coach sports. They advise the same students across multiple years. This triple load—classroom, athletics, residential duty—is the norm here. It also means you influence student development in ways larger schools cannot match. Teachers know families. They shape dormitory culture. They watch students grow.

The school actively hires faculty in English, mathematics, sciences, humanities, Spanish, and American Sign Language. Coaching roles and administrative positions open as well. The Storm King School offers competitive salaries and benefits: on-campus housing options, meals, and retirement contributions. Strong fundraising growth and solid financial reserves support these packages. For educators near New York City or in the Hudson Valley, the compensation mix addresses both salary and cost of living.

The international student body and boarding structure create a distinctive teaching environment. Faculty work with students navigating cross-cultural communication daily. Residential life is not peripheral—it is the center of school culture. At The Storm King School, faculty shape that center directly. For educators seeking meaningful residential teaching work within reach of Manhattan, this school offers financial stability, geographic access, and genuine influence over community.
