Alumni[edit]

The alumni section is intended to include all notable attendees, not just graduates. Per WP:ALUMNI all notable attendees should be included "regardless of how much time they have spent on a school roll, from one day to several years, and whether or not they graduated." Meters (talk) 15:39, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A group of people who have graduated from a school or university. Alumni is usually used to refer to a group of graduates of either one or both genders, while 'alumnus' traditionally refers to a single male graduate, with the feminine term being 'alumna'.

Would like to add under an "Academics" tab

All students Graduate with an Advance Regents Diploma after 4 years of study.

Sea iPad

All Sea students receive their own iPad Air which comes pre-loaded with access to their Canvas Account, as well as the Pearson App which contains all of their textbooks. The iPad is backed through Google Drive and insured meaning no matter what happens to the device, students will not only receive a new one but also have access to their notes and work from high school throughout college. Moreover, Sea has a new every two program whereby students receive the latest edition of the iPad as a Freshman and than again as a Junior [1]


Institutes

Institute of Scientific Research: This science program gives students the opportunity to be published in medical & science journals. This institute is lead by three faculty members who have earned Ph. D's in their respective field and is taught in a newly constructed research facility on Sea’s campus.[2]

Pre-Vet: Students interested in animal studies experience the Institute for Pre-Veterinary Studies, housed in the schools newly constructed zoo. The new facility features dozens of animals including birds, snakes, rabbits, turtles, and lizards. The zoo has also been outfitted with the latest in animal care technology including climate control and maintenance devices. Students are instructed in animal anatomy while caring for Sea's collection of animals, and in addition to hands on learning they have the opportunity to expand their learning through a partnership with the Staten Island Zoo.[3]

Institute For Robotics & Engineering: Students interested in math, science and engineering will benefit from our most popular activity, Robotics. The newest addition to our Robotics program is the NAO Robot, which allows students to learn computer coding such as Python, JAVA, and more. There are a little over 7,000 of the specialized robots in the world, and Sea has two. Most recently, Sea has partnered with local elementary schools and hosts an island-wide competition FIRST Lego League Robotics Competition. Outside of the event being fun, it also gives students access to robotics while still in elementary school. The school also has a Robotics Team which works together over the course of 8 weeks to build a robot which is then entered into a nation-wide competition at The Jacob Javitz Center in Manhattan. Sea is also engaged with another robotics program headed by the U.S. Navy, called Sea Perch Robotics, where students must build a robot designed to carry out tasks underwater.[4]


College Dual Enrollment

At St. Joseph by-the-Sea, education takes into consideration what students will need to be successful at the collegiate level, and designs a four year curriculum around those needs to make the transition to college seamless. Beginning Freshman Year, students meet with our Guidance/College Advisement Department to discuss college options, requirements and the admissions process. Students also take an online college advisory course and attend our Semiannual College Fairs held in our school. We find starting the process early proves more advantageous for both students and parents.

The St. Joseph-by-the-Sea dual enrollment program provides an exciting opportunity to earn college credit while still in high school. We work with SUNY Albany, St. John’s University and Iona College to offer their college courses under their supervision in our school with our faculty members. Students register with the accrediting college and receive the corresponding credits. Upon graduating from Sea, students are able to transfer the credits to the college of their choice. While there are some schools that may not accept the transfer credits, they are widely accepted at colleges and universities throughout the United States. Students in the Honors Program can earn up to 60 College Credits (two full years) while at Sea, and all students have the opportunity to earn at least 18 credits.

 Not done: for a number of reasons.
  1. There is far too much detail here. A Wikipedia article should not be a complete exposition of all possible details, but a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject. For example, a reader of a Wikipedia article isn't going to care what software is on the iPads or how often a student gets a new one. See also WP:NOTEVERYTHING.
  2. Wikipedia articles should rely on secondary sources. All links provided here are primary sources (links to the school's website). This is acceptable in small doses, but large sections of the article should not be based exclusively on primary source material.
  3. The requested text appears to be written as an advertisement or press release. A Wikipedia article is not a vehicle for advertising or public relations. Rather, it is a neutrally-written encyclopedia article about the subject.
Provide some reliable, secondary sources discussing these programs and write it in a neutral, encyclopedic tone, and this can be revisited. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 19:17, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 1 November 2023[edit]

We should include a few sentences like the following, including the ref links in the markup. This is a highly compressed and reliably sourced summary of the key historical info that was deleted here because of a long-ago lack of referencing. Please add to the article as a short second paragraph:

The school property was previously owned by steel magnate Charles M. Schwab, who was developing it as a summer resort. In 1909, he donated it to the Sisters of Charity of New York, as a seaside home for children from the New York Foundling hospital. Then after many years as a children's home and a convent, the Sisters transformed the property into a high school, first for girls in 1963, then co-educational since 1973.[1][2][3]

Schwab, President of the Bethlehem Steel Company, transferred yesterday to the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul one of the most beautiful and well-equipped playgrounds in this part of the country. It comprises sixty-one acres of upland on Staten Island and fifty-six acres under water, fronting Raritan Bay, about a mile and a half from Huguenot... The grounds, known as Richmond Beach Park, will be used by the New York Foundling Hospital... Probably a large farm house which stands at one corner of the tract and was at one time used as a Summer hotel will be so arranged.

The Sisters of Charity used the estate as a convalescent home for the New York Foundling Hospital... The mansion is now used as a convent for the Sisters of Charity.
