A Magical Welcome for Rutgers Prep’s Future 9th Graders

On March 6, Rutgers Prep opened its doors to admitted 9th grade families for The Magic of Rutgers Prep, an event designed to offer a glimpse into what makes our school community so special, and, we'll say it, ✨magical✨.

Admitted students had the opportunity to step into a day in the life at RPS, choosing from signature classes such as "Invest Like a Pro: Build Investment Portfolios in the Bloomberg Lab,"  "Up, Up and Away!: Hands-on Drone Piloting," and "Feel the March Madness: Sports Analytics at Rutgers Prep." They then shared lunch with their future classmates and explored student clubs and organizations at a Club Fair filled with energy and excitement.

Meanwhile, their parents and guardians connected with members of the Rutgers Prep community over lunch and heard from Head of School Dr. Loy about the possibilities that lie ahead.

Before the day ended, we had one last trick up our sleeve: a special performance by RPS alumnus and magician David Harbour, who wowed us with his own magic and put smiles on the faces of everyone in the audience.

It was wonderful to welcome new families to campus. and we look forward to more magical moments with them in the fall! 

(A special thank you to our incredible teachers for leading such engaging sessions and to our Upper School students for warmly welcoming our guests!)
