    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.

    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

    The wonderful opportunities we have to offer our students come from the dedication, both past and present, of our faculty, staff, administration, and those who are willing to volunteer their time and support with the idea that an RPS education is a unique and worthy investment.
    Hundreds of students gather in the Upper Gym to take part in Rise Against Hunger, an annual event to help pack meals for those in need
