ARTS ACADEMY AT BENJAMIN RUSH - SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUITY THROUGH THE ARTS

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

FRIDAY AUGUST 21, 2026 9AM – 12PM

Our Vision

Rush Arts is grounded in the belief that the creative arts provide an unmatched opportunity to develop intellectual growth and personal creativity as part of a rigorous academic curriculum.

Through our Core Values, we emphasize the building of a reflective community of learners who are adaptive critical thinkers and creators, while preparing our students for college and professional careers.

Rush Arts develops students’ capacity as active members of a civic democratic society by fostering a culture of conversation, uplifting respect for the various views of our diverse and dynamic student population, and encouraging student voice in the pursuit of equity and social justice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
