Recently, we’ve taken the opportunity to showcase some of the incredible career paths our alumni have followed, along with the educational steps they have taken along the way. It’s hard to believe those power players were once Rutgers Prep freshmen—swinging from ropes courses on the camping trip and forgetting their locker combinations. We keep moving [...]

I was not one of the best students in Mr. Mazsa’s ’96-97 AP Bio class. I enjoyed the subject matter, and dutifully carried the phone book-sized textbook around everywhere to study, but despite the interest and effort, I had my share of some not-so-stellar grades. My brief shining moment of AP Bio happiness came as [...]

Once they cross the stage at Commencement, gather up their diplomas, shake Dr. Loy’s hand, and smile for the camera, our graduating students head off into their bright futures. Many attend elite schools and choose challenging careers. They raise intellectually curious families who are engaged in their wider communities. Our alumni pursue dreams first kindled [...]
Today is Friday, March 19th and traffic is moving swiftly in and out of our campus in Somerset, NJ. There’s a lot going on today and all of it reflects the energy, passion, and appreciation of our vibrant community!
Students, faculty, parents, and visitors might have noticed brighter colors fluttering from the flagpole outside the Upper School in the past few weeks. Each morning, one individual might raise it, but many people on campus collaborated to ensure that our new American flag holds special significance to our community. This unique project started with Jane [...]
