Our Heritage

Founded in 1922 with the motto “Character Before Career,” The Stony Brook School seeks to educate students in matters of the mind, body, and heart. Students are challenged to become leaders with integrity and virtue; character development is considered an essential component of the educational process. While students are presented with the gospel of Jesus Christ, they are free to maintain their personal spiritual beliefs.

Our Commitment

For over 100 years, our mission has remained the same—and this should tell you something about our school. First, it means our convictions run deep. We believe wholeheartedly in our approach to schooling. While other schools have turned away from their faith roots, we have not. Longevity, durability, faithfulness, loyalty, solidity—these are words that describe The Stony Brook School.
