OUR SCHOOL
Since 1922, The Stony Brook School has been a Christian boarding and day school committed to an academic program shaped by the conviction that “All truth is God’s Truth.” Our teaching pursues excellence in all things to challenge students to pursue moral character and spiritual growth. At Stony Brook, our rigorous curriculum and instruction flows from our Christian mission rather than against it. In classrooms, dorms, chapels, and across campus life, we form young men and women to think carefully, live faithfully, and serve generously, prepared for college and for a life of purpose.
