The NJROTC curriculum emphasizes citizenship and leadership development, as well as our maritime heritage, the significance of sea power, and naval topics such as the fundamentals of naval operations, seamanship, navigation and meteorology. Classroom instruction is augmented throughout the year by community service activities, drill competitions, field meets, participation in academic competitions, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math) / Cyber-Patriot competitions; visits to naval and other activities; marksmanship training; and other military training. For active cadets, the greatest benefit is personal growth, leadership development, and the opportunity to realize untapped potential.
