TESTIMONIALS

RECENT GRADUATES

sbs-01-Forrest

“SBS taught me about personal responsibility, work ethic, and the world. I was educated not only by the faculty (in and out of the classroom), but also by my peers. I have not found such a diversity of thought and life experiences in such concentration since.”

Forrest Hull

Class of 2011, Princeton University

sbs-02-Michael

“The experience you will have at Stony Brook can hardly be found elsewhere. I really appreciate the character I formed and the education I received and would definitely recommend it to you.”

Michael Cao

Class of 2018, Columbia University

sbs-03-Jessie

“The Stony Brook School offered me a lot that prepared me for college. SBS has a strong engineering program and many advanced courses. Data Science and Linear Algebra prepared me well for my college courses, and my Stony Brook teacher for Linear Algebra gave me a better understanding of the subject than my college professor did. The liberal studies courses are also strong. Annotations and analysis we did in AP Language and Composition set a strong foundation for my writing and discussions in my college English course.”

Jessie Wang

sbs-08-Oscar

“The Stony Brook School is the most incredible place, full of the most talented and diverse individuals I have ever come across. The love which beams out of every aspect of the school and the emphasis on character formation creates confident leaders. Despite only having a year at the Brook, my passion for learning has been uncovered, and I have become a more enlightened person. Making life-long friends is natural to what the SBS experience provides, uniting people from across the globe.”

Oscar Houseago

Class of 2020, University of East Anglia

sbs-07-Erin

“Stony Brook is an intellectually curious place filled with teachers who are experts in their field, and united by joy in their work and willingness to make time for curious students. People of faith and those of none who enjoy discussion and debate are encouraged to do so, and it is this which has been most formative to my embracing the college experience.”

Erin Young

Class of 2019, The University of Manchester

sbs-09-David

“My teachers left such an imprint on my life in terms of my appreciation for learning and growth in my faith and character that I also wanted to become a teacher, and not just at any school. I wanted to return to Stony Brook to equip a new generation of character-driven leaders.”

David Hickey

Class of 2008, Wheaton College (B.A.), Stony Brook University (M.A.)
