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 am constantly recommending The Stony Brook School to my family and friends because it is such a wonderful place. My daughter has thrived and become a more confident learner. She enjoys going to school each and every day!
The teachers challenge her while offering support any time she may need. The faculty, staff and coaches are top notch and really care for their students and want them to succeed. She has grown tremendously both as a writer and reader.
Socially, she has made many sweet and caring friends at SBS. There is a strong sense of community among students, faculty, staff and parents. The Stony Brook School hosts numerous events both on and off campus.
The schools motto of Character Before Career is truly evident and embraced by all. If you are considering sending your child, I urge you to visit and talk with the school to see and hear about all the greatness taking place. We are so thankful to have found The Stony Brook School!

We have had a wonderful experience at The Stonybrook School. As a college prepatory middle school and high school, they do a tremendous job at preparing student academically with course work and scheduling, advising and career exploration, developing confidence, and instilling focus, drive, ambition and fun while doing it. The campus offers a plethora of opportunities for both Day students and Boarding students. It is a globally diverse student and faculty administration. Student become friends with children from around the world. They challenged to be their best. They are on the cutting edge of career and academic fields. Students are prepared for the university that fits their interest and needs where they will be their most successful. We highly recommend The Stonybrook School.
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!
