New Student Registration

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF OUR NEW STUDENTS ON THEIR ACCEPTANCE TO THE ARTS ACADEMY AT BENJAMIN RUSH FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR!

It is our hope that you will not only enjoy being part of the community here, but an active participant engaging in many activities and making the experience at our high school both personal and rewarding.  This phrase, though a bit cliche, is never more true than it is for life at Rush:  Your high school experience will only be what you make it.  We are thankful and excited that you selected the Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush as you begin your high school journey.

If you did not attend Welcome Night, please contact the main office at 215-400-3030 immediately to obtain your welcome packet.  There are several documents that must be completed prior to your first day of school.

New student orientation will take place on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1st 9:00am – 12:00pm

To the right on most devices (or scroll down on some phones), you will see a list of items important for all students and their families to know and understand.  This information will also be available on the “school year information” page throughout the year.

You will also find information on new student auditions for each department.  The information posted as of August 18th is for last year’s auditions.   Revisions to this year’s audition process will be posted as soon as they are available but will more or less, be similar to last year.
