The academics are challenging but rewarding for those that are looking for a challenge. There are AP and college-level classes that certainly help students prepare for college. The teachers are very competent, responsible and try to develop deep relationships with their students. The student body is very diverse, with some coming from Asia, Africa, Europe and South America. The teachers are quite diverse too, most of which are not from Long Island! The food, made by Sage Dining, can be hit-or-miss. Some foods can be questionable, but it is mostly decent. The school is making an emphasis on improving the facilities of the school but need to fix some dorms.
Every child is special. Parents know this about their own children, but does their school know this? The Stony Brook School does know this and treats every student as a very special being. Whether you are a boarding student or a day student, the faculty and staff have everyone's best interest at heart. The academic opportunities are phenomenal, and students are always encouraged to pursue their dreams and build on their strengths. My husband went to school there, and my oldest graduated from there and my middle child will graduate this May. They focus on character, integrity, leadership and virtue, all on top of a solid foundation of academics and athletics. The catering company supplies food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) that is very tasty and nutritious. When you first get to the sprawling campus, you will be amazed at the beautiful buildings and park-like atmosphere. Their motto is "Character before Career", and the education your child will get there is out of this world.
Stony Brook School is located at Long Island, New York. There is a train station right in front of the school gate to the city.
This is a school with diversity, vigor, and rigor. Stony Brook really cares about how students perform academically. SBS offers several kinds of AP courses, and some of them are compulsory, which is really good for students' college applications.
Every year SBS students get into good colleges and SBS has college counselors who are ready for help. The teachers here dedicate to their works, helping students become better individuals.
Students here come from different countries like China, Korea, Nigeria, Japan, Israel, South Africa, and India, etc.
Christianity is also an essential part of SBS community life. We pray, and every night we have dorm prayers.
Facilities are fantastic since the school just bought new stuff for classrooms and dorms.
