Our founding headmaster, Frank E. Gaebelein said, “Education without character is a dangerous thing.” This sentiment resonates deeply with Proverbs 22:6, which states, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

By imbuing aspects of our curriculum with Christian principles and teachings, The Stony Brook School instills in its students a moral compass, Character Before Career, that will help guide their actions and decisions throughout their lives.
This approach to education not only cultivates intellectual growth but also nurtures the development of virtuous character, echoing the biblical injunction to seek wisdom and understanding.

We look to form character through simple acts of selfless love that inspire ownership and produce meaningful work for the greater Three Village area and Long Island.

Our emphasis is service learning! Service learning happens within the context of programs that are already in place. Having established important bonds, academic and athletic teams, dorms, clubs, and class councils serve together each year. Upon completion of the service, they reflect on their shared experience with their teams or small groups.

The foundation of this program is servant leadership, and through it, students will be doing three Service Projects each year and learning the skills and tools it takes to be an impactful leader. Recent service projects include “1 Million Book Giveaway” and “Do Good December.” Participating students will create their own service idea, called the “Impact Project,” which seeks to have a positive impact on the community.

Many of our student groups and councils work with the Student Life Office to plan and throw events. Some examples of this are our Lunar New Year Celebration, International Festival, Earth Day Celebration, Skate Night, Latin Food Tasting, Camping and Ski Trips, Student Film Festival, Art in the Park Event, and Class Council Nights.

We have a rotation of student clubs each year. Students go through a rigorous selection process at the beginning of the fall term to determine that they’re a club that our community wants and needs. The leaders of the clubs are also responsible for regularly throwing events that impact and bolster Student Life and complete one community service offering each school year.
