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.
