The stony brook school has shaped me into the person I am. My experience here has been nothing except wonderful from the support I have had to the ways I am pushed. The community here is strong so much so that I worry that I will not be able to find something else like it. Recently I have even wondered if I want to come back here as a teacher or some other type of staff because of how grateful I am towards the school and because I want to be apart of the community.

A significant number of teachers lack foundational training in teaching or even subject-matter expertise. While exceptional teachers do exist, they represent a small minority within the school. The students struggle with widespread instructional gaps.

It is an encouraging environment for students to grow and learn through the viewpoint of loving Christian teachers. You make lifelong friends, with whom you can enjoy traveling to other countries. The faculty pushes you to learn and excel in all classes.

Many of the teacher aren't qualified to teach. The academic program is not good. They discriminate against other religions. If you are caught with your shirt untucked, students take unnecessary detention on a Saturday. Since this school has a lot of sports activities and give lots of homework, the s...
