The Stony Brook School Photo #2 - Founded in 1922 with the motto "Character Before Career," The Stony Brook School seeks to educate students in the matters of the mind, body and heart and to challenge students to become leaders with integrity and virtue. SBS welcomes all students, not just those who identify with the school's Christian mission.

Students have partnered with NASA to send an aeroponics system to the International Space Station. The system uses mist generated by circuits to germinate plant seeds.

The Stony Brook School Photo #4 - At The Stony Brook School we treasure the education of young artists. Students are encouraged to explore their interest in theater through acting, directing, set design, light and sound crew, stage crew and playwriting.

The Stony Brook School Photo #5 - We are bonded together by a strong sense of community and push each other to be the best that we could be. We compete in and out of the classroom with respect and grace and enjoy each other's company. We love to have fun and work hard!

The Stony Brook School Photo #7 - We are the school not too far from the BIG city and close enough to the sea. You are connected to the vibrancy of NYC (50 miles away) and the peace and tranquility of being with nature on campus. It is in these spaces that we create incredible memories together.

The Stony Brook School Photo #8 - Do you spot the faculty member in this picture? Students have a deep connection with staff and faculty who have dedicated their lives to the personal development of each student. The love, support, guidance and shared perspectives from some other adult person (SOAP), give parents a sense of peace and satisfaction that their child is cared for.
