石溪中學

家長您好： 我簡單談?wù)勈⊿tony Brook）的情況： 首先來說說學校的教學環(huán)境： - 20人的班級規(guī)模在美國私立高中中其實屬于中等偏小，很多學校的班級規(guī)模在15-25人之間 - 校園陳舊確實是個問題，但這也反映了學校將資源更多投入到教學而非外表 學校的學術(shù)氛圍： - 學習壓力大的現(xiàn)象可能反映了學校較高的學術(shù)要求 - 學生看起來不夠開心這點值得關(guān)注，可能暗示： 1. 學校在平衡學術(shù)和學生生活方面還有改善空間 2. 可能缺乏足夠的課外活動或社交機會 3. 學校文化可能過于強調(diào)成績 另外關(guān)于"奢侈感不太好"這點： - 這可能恰恰反映了學校的務(wù)實風格 - 很多優(yōu)秀的學校都不太注重外表奢華，而是專注于提供優(yōu)質(zhì)教育 - 但如果你希望在更現(xiàn)代化的環(huán)境中學習，這確實是需要考慮的因素 學校學生的每年的大學畢業(yè)走向都還是很不錯的，值得推薦！

It is important to do independent research on each school and consider the best-fit scenario for your child considering your major factors. Deciphering opinions on school search sites will result in a variety of answers. As it relates to Math courses, Mr. Rao could not be more wrong. Only Phillips Exeter Academy has a few higher math offerings. We offer higher than Andover, and easily more than all other NE boarding schools and every private prep school in the NYC area. We currently have 60+ students now beyond AP Calculus BC. We offer College-Level Multivariable Calculus and College-Level Linear Algebra (both of which are accredited through SBU'S ACE program for dual enrollment). We also offer Advanced Mathematical Logic and, Advanced Topics in Mathematics. We have increasingly seen students specifically choose to come to SBS for our math curriculum, as we are confident in saying our math course offerings are currently among the best in the country. Advanced Topics in Mathematics originated due to students completing our math sequence, especially possible now due to summer courses through our Gravitas program. The course is co-taught by our Math Department Chair, who is also now an adjunct professor at SBU at their math chair's request, and a new faculty member who holds a PhD in rocket science and has taught mathematics and physics at the college level for many years. The course is designed to be flexible to student research and interests. As a capstone project, students will do a research project and defend their research in a "thesis defense" style forum in May, alongside our Advanced Scientific Research students (a similar new course to facilitate research in science - we have had multiple students with internships at Brookhaven National Labs and Cold Spring Harbor Labs over the past several years and this course is designed to support that initiative) and Advanced Engineering, Innovation, and Design students from the STEM department. Our students are performing at a higher level than most college juniors and seniors our teachers have taught at the university level. Here is the course description: N.170/ Advanced Topics in Mathematics Prerequisite: Linear Algebra or Multivariable Calculus and instructor’s recommendation . This course is a rigorous, college-level math course for high-achieving students of mathematics. Topics such as combinatorics, probability, real analysis, complex analysis, advanced calculus and number theory will be covered to expose students to a variety of advanced subjects.
