The Knox School is a small, coed, boarding (grades 7 - 12) and day (grades 6 - 12) school which offers a college preparatory curriculum within a supportive family environment. Teachers and students have the opportunity to develop mentoring relationships through our Honors Portfolio Program as well as personal relationships through sports and weekend activities. We are guided in every aspect of school life by our Core Values: courage, respect, scholarship, integrity, kindness, responsibility. Located on the north shore of Long Island, The Knox School campus is 68 acres with waterfront on Stony Brook Harbor. We have spacious and beautiful grounds in a rural setting and yet are about 1 1/2 hours by train from Manhattan, where students can take trips to see Broadway performances or sporting events. Our small size allows for close teacher/student relationships, both in and out of the classroom. We foster a family-like environment.
