St. Joseph by-the-Sea High School is a private Catholic school which exists to afford young men and women the opportunity to come to appreciate that every person has been created by God in His image and likeness, was redeemed by Christ, and is destined to become one with God.
Here, education is the deliberate effort of the administration, faculty, and parents to assist our young people in the development of their spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic potential through instruction, discipline, and example.

Lower School teachers have been thinking together about the goals we set for social studies, in particular the conceptual goals that underlie our projects, trips and written tasks. As much as in literacy or math, we design a program to reflect students’ developmental orientation. We meet them where they are, tapping into their interests and curiosity within the framework of their realm of understanding. For example, we know that the younger child learns through concrete, personal experience – a trip or interview is a springboard for extended learning as your child reflects, questions, draws and writes about an exciting experience, turning it into new and deeper understanding. As the student matures and her worldview broadens, she extracts more and more information from books and symbolic communication, linking this to direct, interactive experience. Eventually, around Third Grade, students are ready to leave what we call the ”here and now” and enter the world of “long ago and far away;” to study those things that cannot be visited directly, tasted or touched. Thanks to the experiential foundation of their earlier years, eight and nine year olds are prepared to appreciate the flow and evolution of history and to conceptualize a timeline leading from then to now.

K-12. Trinity's mission, stated in carefully considered terms, is essentially to provide its students with a setting—intellectual, moral, and physical—in which they can pursue the elements of a liberal education. We understand the idea of liberal education in different ways, all of us, but I'm pretty sure we could agree on a small number of things that are necessary to it: reading and writing accurately and truthfully; being curious and critical-minded; opening our minds to the ideas of others; questioning authority; maintaining self-respect and respect for the other. It is an endless project. Its ideals are woven through the ideals of democracy. I've come to think that, beyond the ideal of learning for its own sake, for the love of it, a liberal education serves politics. The political question is something like, "What is one to do with one's power?" How Trinity goes about the business of a liberal education is our way of answering that question.

In 1984, Townsend Harris was reopened with a new location and student body but the same spirit and desires as before.

The present school has had, from its inception, this rich tradition supported by an active group of alumni. The alumni arrange internships for students, serve as advisors and mentors and raise funds for special projects.

O nome vem de Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, o grande físico-químico francês, numa homenagem prestada por nosso fundador - o professor Renato Garcia de Freitas.
Desde o início, lá pelos idos de 1954, funcionando como Curso Pré-Vestibular de Medicina e Engenharia, tinha um compromisso: qualidade em Educação.
Em 1968, dentro de tal proposta, transformou-se em ensino de formação regular, uma escola-escolha, voltada para o desenvolvimento de talentos, sempre com uma filosofia pedagógica que busca o equilíbrio entre dimensões conservadoras e liberais, da Educação Infantil ao Ensino Médio.
Nessas últimas 3 décadas, com gerações e gerações de alunos, felizmente atingimos objetivos pretendidos. Somos uma escola para quem deseja níveis de excelência, visando à continuação de estudos superiores, num mundo em permanente mutação, com estruturas comportamentais baseadas na reunião do saber com o sentir.
