Learning At The Brook
Our curriculum asks big questions and expects students to work through them at their own pace. We look for our students to develop their own answers because those answers will construct how they live their lives. SBS graduates often tell us how grateful they are that we did not tell them what to think, but rather taught them how to think while giving them the space to do so.

I would not expect a fuller and more meaningful four years at a high school. As an international student, I think I have regarded The Stony Brook School as my second home over the four years. Teachers on this campus are very dedicated and loving, willing to do everything in their ability to make you better. My peers at the Stony Brook School are no less knowledgable, intelligent, and motivated than students in any other elite private high school. Not to emphasize figures, but over 36 percent of my class got into US News top 25 universities in the nation. Most importantly, SBS is a place that motivates you to explore more about the world, whether it be science, math, humanities, or arts. My intellectual curiosity is cultivated here and I think I will benefit from this spirit throughout my college time and entire life. I feel grateful that I end up(whether it be God's will or pure randomness) at this magical place. I will definitely recommend this school to any friend!
One thing that this school taught me is to believe in myself,but interestingly that came to me not because of the school's faculty and environment encouraging me,but rather because it discouraged me to be anything big.Perhaps because I am openly non-religious.For years my hard work was underscored,especially papers,and the school makes your day so busy you hardly have a minute to take care of yourself.You're constantly watched when you study, which I dislike because it makes me feel like a 5-year old.Because I was under-graded,I was told that I am such a low score student I won't get into a good college, and I did.Throughout college and into my capstone, my essays received excellent grading and in Stony Brook they gave me nothing above C's for them.I recently graduated college with an excellence award and on my way to get my JD. And Stony Brook School told me I won't get into college.Don't go here if you are one who thinks outside the box,that's all I am going to say about this place.
Having spent six years at Stony Brook, I could not have asked for a better experience. The work is rigorous but went above and beyond at preparing me for college. The community is great, with nearly every student being involved in some capacity. The ideals behind all the quality education you receive are excellent, preparing students, not just mentally for their future lives but morally as well.
I am finishing my first Political Science degree this year at Fordham University, and this is only my second year since graduating from Stony Brook. There can be no better preparatory experience than what I received, the AP's offered were helpful in my accelerated learning, but more importantly, the professional aspect of learning guarantees students a successful future college experience.
I could not recommend this school more to anyone who is interested in having a positive high school experience and even more so if you want to be doubly prepared for college.
