Students Life
Although the SKS community loves being On The Mountain, we need to move around a bit, too! Whether it’s personal supplies our students need to purchase—or just a change of scenery—we regularly schedule weekend trips to the Palisades Mall, the Woodbury Commons Outlet Center, and evenings at the local movie theatres. Shorter runs to Target and Wal-Mart are also part of our standard weekend fare.
Our Activities Coordinator also regularly schedules special trips to the Asian Food Markets, ski hills, paintballing arenas, and even horseback riding.
The clubs often include: The Quarry Yearbook, Community Service, Weightlifting, Theater, Movie Writing, Movie Production, Cooking, Ski/Snowboarding, and Outdoor/Environment.
