Founded in 1922 with the motto “Character Before Career,” The Stony Brook School is an independent, college preparatory school that exists to challenge young men and women to know Jesus Christ as Lord, to love others as themselves, and to grow in knowledge and skill in order that they may serve the world through their character and leadership.

Distinguished for its academics and set apart by its mission, The Stony Brook School is widely known for its passion for character education. Located on the beautiful north shore of Long Island, the 55-acre campus is home to 427 students. Most of our faculty members live on or near campus. With students from 19 countries and 11 states, The Stony Brook School has truly emerged as one of the most diverse private schools in the nation.

Stony Brook offers a rigorous college preparatory program that combines traditional academics with competitive athletics, training in the visual and performing arts, and a focus on character development set in the framework of Christian belief and example. In fact, 37% of the Class of 2020 was accepted to at least one school ranked amongst U.S. News' Top 25 National Universities and National Liberal Arts Colleges.

Student Life

Summary: A central part of our mission is to train students to "serve the world through their character and leadership." Towards this end, the school has created many opportunities for students to learn how to lead. At the heart of this lies the concept of servant leadership, a philosophy which believes that leaders are more effective when they learn to serve and cultivate the people they lead. Our varied leadership opportunities are optional to all students, but the vast majority choose to spend large amounts of their extra time and energy serving the school, the community, and the world at large through one or more of these outlets.

Summary: At the Stony Brook School, we seek to educate the whole student and believe that our playing fields, courts, and race courses serve alongside our classrooms for the training of hearts and minds. We regard athletics as co-curricular, not extra-curricular, and require that all students take part in at least two of the three athletic seasons. In winning and losing, leading and following, our scholar athletes gain practical experience and learn important lessons from the service to others that comes with being part of a successful team. We challenge our students to play hard, win and lose with grace, and discover the joy of teamwork and competition.
