Campus Center: A Campaign for Meaningful Spaces

For those who know it best - alumni, students, and their families - Rutgers Prep represents a place of limitless possibilities, and a close-knit community where inspiration is sparked and confidence nurtured. We support our students through our diverse and challenging academic offerings, talented faculty, exceptional extra-curricular programming and our ever-evolving campus.

We are thrilled to share a preview of the next capital investment coming to our School, which will ensure Rutgers Prep is prepared to embrace emerging opportunities, provoke innovative thoughts and ideas, and continue to provide an inspired educational experience. 

The new construction will accommodate all three Divisions of our student body, foster a tight-knit community, and empower innovation and creativity in state-of-the-learning environments.
