The Gravitas curriculum is The Stony Brook School curriculum, built for online.

As a Gravitas student, you will take five to seven rigorous courses at a time. You can attend live online class at times that fit your schedule and complete your asynchronous coursework when it’s most convenient for you.

You will take English, history, theology and philosophy, science, math, world language, and some elective courses over the course of the academic year. Your live online courses will typically take three to five hours per day, with 80 minutes per class devoted to live instruction and discussion with your classmates.

The online Middle School academic program equips students for success as Gravitas high school students by teaching them how to become good learners and critical thinkers. Gravitas teachers work with Middle School students to help them reason, read, listen, write, and speak effectively. The core program includes World History, project-based Science classes, and English courses that focus on reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary. Middle School students take their math and world language classes at their ability level, so some of their classes will count toward the High School transcript. Additionally, Middle School students take online courses in Bible, health, and the Arts to round out their learning experience.

The online High School academic program consists of core courses in Humanities, English, Science, Theology and Philosophy, Math and World Languages, Character Formation, Health and Human Flourishing, and the Arts, along with exciting elective courses.

All of the online courses in Gravitas are intentionally designed and integrated with one another so that students will continuously deepen their understanding of truth, beauty, and goodness as they study what we call the wisdom questions: questions about God, the natural world, human nature, virtue and vice, and individual and communal flourishing.

Upon graduation from Gravitas, after working diligently and maximizing your opportunities, you will be ready to take on the intellectual challenges of academics at the top colleges and universities in the world. You will also be stronger in character and have a greater sense of your particular gifts, passions, and purpose.
