Kids Who Code

Students start learning to code in Grade 3 at Rutgers Prep, and they might not stop until completing our Post-AP Advanced Software Design class in the Upper School. Giving them access to cutting edge tools and technologies keeps us at the forefront of tech education.

CSI Scientist and Other Middle School Experiences

Our Middle School curriculum is designed with self-discovery and self-awareness at its heart. Diverse course offerings and creative instruction allow students to confidently explore their interests, stepping into the shoes of a Broadcast Journalist, Rocket Engineer, Art Historian, and even Crime Scene Investigator. More importantly, they also step into the leadership roles that will set the stage for lifelong success.

Hard Work is True Joy

The Academic Acknowledgement Program allows Upper School students to choose an emphasis or concentration in subjects like Engineering, Science & Research, Humanities, and Visual & Performing Arts. Similar to choosing a major in college, this approach gives our students a head start on a college-level curriculum and is even recognized on their school transcript.
