Why SBS?

If you’ve come to this site because you’re considering applying to The Stony Brook School--allow me to extend a warm welcome.

The Stony Brook School offers a truly distinctive college preparatory education, one that is unparallelled among both boarding and day schools in the northeastern United States.  To learn more about the distinct features that set us apart, I encourage you to spend some time browsing this site.  You’ll find information about our commitment to academic excellence, our mission, our ideal location, our close-knit, diverse community...and much more.

Recent research has revealed what we’ve known for some time--that attending school in a residential setting affords a student long-term, life-changing benefits.  The lessons and values learned at The Stony Brook School influence our students’ college experiences and professional achievements far into adulthood.  

Parents and students are often filled with questions and concerns during this time of planning and decision-making, and I hope you won’t hesitate to email the Admissions Office or give us a call at 631-751-1800 ext. 1 if there’s any way we can help.
