Gravitas: A Global Extension of The Stony Brook School

Gravitas, as an extension of The Stony Brook School, offers you online access to an education with a demonstrated track record of success for students like you. By joining Gravitas, you can access the best of Stony Brook: inspiring teachers and mentors, new friends, and challenging courses that will push you to be the best version of yourself.

As a Gravitas student, you will take four demanding courses at a time, allowing you to immerse yourself in what you are learning rather than juggling all of the courses for the academic year at once. You can attend live online classes at times that suit your schedule and complete coursework whenever it is most convenient for you.

You will take arithmetic, global language, some optional courses throughout the academic year, and intensive courses in eleven-week blocks, one at a time. Your intensive lessons will last roughly three hours every day, with about 80 minutes dedicated to live instruction and conversation with your classmates.

The online Middle School academic program prepares students for success as Gravitas High School students by teaching them how to be effective learners and critical thinkers. The core curriculum comprises Ancient and Modern World History, project-based Science classes known as STEM 7 and 8, and English courses that cover reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary.

The online High School academic program includes major classes in Humanities, English, and Science, year-long courses in Math and Spanish, and weekly minor courses in Character Formation, Health and Human Flourishing, the Arts, and Theology. Students can also take courses through the Gravitas Passion Academies.

All of Gravitas' online courses are purposefully designed and integrated so that students' understanding of truth, beauty, and goodness grows as they study wisdom questions: questions about God, the natural world, human nature, virtue and vice, and individual and communal flourishing.

After graduating from Gravitas and working hard to maximize your chances, you will be ready to face the intellectual demands of academics in the world's top colleges and universities. You will also develop a stronger personality and better understand your unique gifts, passions, and purpose.
