Rising 10th Grade Course Registration Instructions
Welcome to The Stony Brook School! You have made a great choice to join a community of scholars who bring wisdom and imagination together to cultivate great vision in the next generation of leaders. If you are a returning student, we are excited to help you plan for next year. Now is the time to start thinking about next year’s courses.
Please review the Course Catalog, which is available at
www.sbs.org/academics. This includes graduation requirements, registration rules, and information about the registration process (pp. 2-7). Please read the registration rules carefully, particularly regarding individual class prerequisites, listed under each course.
In 10th grade, some courses are required, but you will now have more elective choices than you had in the past, so long as you meet the prerequisites.
On this form you will be choosing full year and/or one-semester courses. All students must take the equivalent of 5 full year courses, but no more than 7. If a 7th full-year-course is chosen, it needs to be a low-homework course or a graduation requirement such as Health and Human Flourishing. This is designated with [LH] in the course catalog. Note - if you choose more than the allowed equivalent of 7 full-year-courses, the ones that you choose last will be removed from your selections, so be sure to choose carefully.
Required Courses
All 10th Graders are REQUIRED to take English, History, Science, and Math. Students for whom English is their native language must take 3 years of a World Language (Chinese, Latin, or Spanish). In addition, all students will automatically be signed up for a semester of 10th grade Health (not to be entered on this form). This leaves room for 6.5 additional courses to be chosen.
Students may only take one of the following lab based science courses: AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics C, Environmental Science.
Once you have completed your schedule and submitted it, if you and/or your parents still have specific questions regarding your schedule, please contact the registrar at
