Academics
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!
Excellent from start to finish. Parent of 2 graduating seniors. The academics program continues to rise to the occasion both in terms of the breath, depth, and rigor of courses and the addition of mini-courses a nice touch that gives students opportunity to explore areas of interest beyond the core curriculum. The teachers are exceptional, balancing a joy of learning with intellectual curiosity that gave my boys the confidence to set high standards for college. Administrative staff and leadership team do an EXCEPTIONAL job keeping parents informed (and every school should be using the SBS portal). Wish my boys would have taken advantage of sailing but they found plenty of clubs, sports, and leadership positions to meet their needs. Incredible sense of community. Best decision we could have made. Now off to college, the boys got into all but 1 of the 10 schools they applied to. Blessed to be part of SBS family.
A parent of a freshman, day student. Classes and course work are intense, but I feel like my child is really learning especially when benchmarked to friends with children in local public schools. Diversity of the students, teachers and focus of programs has offered my child a broader view on the world. The sports programs have exceeded my expectations. Coaches are teaching fundamentals, programs have been competitive and playing time has been balanced. Administration's strategy is transparent and focused on growth of programs and the school. Opportunities for day students are plenty, my child feels involved in the campus.
