Stony Brook Elementary School

Divine Mercy Academy is a truly wonderful school! From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the sense of faith, family, and community. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to ensure that every child not only receives a strong academic foundation but also grows in character, kindness, and spiritual development.This is more than a school, it truly is a family!

Our family has had a wonderful experience at the school. Our oldest son is now in his fourth year here, and this year our youngest joined the school for the first time. Watching both of them grow academically, socially, and spiritually has truly reinforced how special this community is.Academically, the school provides a strong foundation while still nurturing each child as an individual. One of the things we value most is the close-knit, family-like environment that only a smaller school can offer. Teachers and staff genuinely know the students and families, and that sense of care and connection is felt every day.The buddy program across grade levels has been especially meaningful for our boys. It creates opportunities for students of all ages to interact, learn from one another, and build lasting relationships, helping even the youngest students feel welcomed and supported from day one.We are also grateful for the high level of family involvement at the school. Parents and guardians are encouraged to volunteer their time, which strengthens the sense of community and partnership between families and the school. In addition, the recent cosmetic and technological updates, along with thoughtful curriculum enhancements, show a clear commitment to keeping the school current while honoring its values.The arrival of the new principal has brought a wonderful new energy to the school. Her ideas, enthusiasm, and positivity are evident throughout the community, and her leadership has made an already strong school even better. We feel truly blessed to be part of this school and are thankful for the supportive, nurturing environment it provides for our children.
