The Stony Brook School is an independent college preparatory school that exists to challenge young men and women to know Jesus Christ as Lord, to love others as themselves, and to grow in knowledge and skill, in order that they may serve the world through their character and leadership.
— The Stony Brook School Mission Statement
The school's motto, "Character Before Career", reflects the school's emphasis on creating leaders with integrity and virtue. While students are required to attend chapel four times a week for worship and to listen to preaching from the Bible, they are free to maintain their personal spiritual beliefs.

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.”
