Why You Should Apply
“Rutgers Prep gives our children confidence, a voice and a sense of pride. They wear their RPS clothing with a smile and the ride home is filled with conversation about their day. We only have one regret - WHY DID WE WAIT so long to send them to Rutgers Prep??”

Creative By Design
The Arts play an instrumental role in a well-rounded education. Rutgers Prep students have more opportunities than ever to learn technique from professional artists, hone their stage presence in drama productions, find their voice in the choir, and earn their brass in the band.
Our Community
The Rutgers Prep Experience
Rutgers Prep educates students for life. Every day, our students learn to identify and work toward challenging academic, personal and citizenship goals. In the process, they gain the skills to lead successful, meaningful lives long after homework and test scores are left behind.

A Culture of Philanthropy
