Established as the Cornwall Heights School in 1867 by Louis P. Ledoux, an Amherst graduate and pastor of the Cornwall Presbyterian Church, the school was later known as the Stone School during the time it was directed by Dr. Carlos H. Stone. In 1923, during the tenure of Headmaster Alvan P. Duerr the name was changed to The Storm King School, deriving from the situation of the school on the northern slopes of the mountain. The School has two boys dorms and two girls dorms, McConnell, Dempsey, Highmount, and Cottage.
