Description |
The Roeper School is an independent, co-educational day
school for gifted students, pre-Kindergarten through grade 12, with campuses in
Bloomfield Hills (pre-K through 5thgrade) and in Birmingham (grades
6-12). Roeper provides a solid
educational background in all academic disciplines. Roeper is a college preparatory school offering many
advanced placement courses. Roeper
prepares students for life.
Teachers help students develop an awareness of and an appreciation for
their own unique identity and help them develop a sense of the contributions
and values of all people. Respect,
trust, fairness and integrity are the core values that direct each child’s
development. Decision-making, problem-solving,
social responsibility and leadership are taught throughout the school’s
curriculum. Academic growth is
determined by the mastery of levels of conceptual understanding, by the ability
to apply values to problems, and by the ability to understand and control one’s
learning process.
Roeper students receive local and national recognition on a
regular basis for a variety of academic, creative and athletic pursuits. What characterizes the students is
their need to find meaning and significance in their daily lives. Roeper graduates pursue higher
education and are accepted at selective colleges and universities. The Roeper School helps create
effective, committed, value-oriented learners, prepared for the changes and
challenges of tomorrow’s world.
The school publishes the Roeper Review, an internationally recognized quarterly journal on gifted education. |
