M.A.S.T. is a co-ed four-year high school located in the Fort Hancock Historic Area at the tip of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. The Marine Academy was founded in 1981 as a part-time program which has since grown to become a full-time diploma-granting program. The school's curriculum focuses on marine sciences and marine technology/engineering.At M.A.S.T., each student is required to participate in the Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) in lieu of Physical Education. One of the best things about the school is The "Blue Sea," a 65-foot research vessel owned and operated by the Marine Academy. The vessel is used in many of the courses offered at the Marine Academy. The students take many trips aboard the boat and various beaches and marsh area on Sandy Hook to conduct research and field studies.
