The Roeper School exemplifies the concept of a great idea twisted into an ugly distortion of itself. Founded by Holocaust survivors, the Roeper School emerged as a new-age, new-thought learning community focused on promoting independence in its students and fostering an environment of community and equality between its students, staff, and administration. Sadly, over the years it has morphed into the exact thing to which it was created as an alternative: a rich, white, spoiled prep school. If that's what you're looking for, great-- but Cranbrook or DCD probably does it better. If you're looking for the "Original" Roeper experience, the Lower School (Bloomfield Hills Campus) will serve just fine, but after 5th grade, consider joining a commune.
Roeper's claim that it is "more than a school" may sound like typical school propaganda, but it's largely true. While its programs in Music and Sports are mediocre (mostly due to the fact that there are only 50 kids per grade), the teachers are incredible and students are generally very smart and kind. I have three independent studies this year, in which I study fractal geometry and animal intelligence and compose jazz tunes.
The school has a social justice commitment that can at times seem a bit too much, but I ultimately really appreciate the school's bias towards fact over non-partisanship. Roeper has really shaped my worldview and my interests.

The teachers and students at roeper really make this place. as a student at Roeper for 6 years now, I can honestly say roeper shaped me to be a creative thinker, a problem solver, and a justice seeker. I can thank the students and most notably the teachers i’ve had throughout the years, but i can’t say the same about the admin, who seem to have drastically different priorities than the people who actually carry out the day to day operations at the school. When I started Roeper, students were involved in every descision possible, ans we were really listened to, which is what made roeper so great and what nurtured me to take the initiatives to make change i do today. now, both students and teachers seem to be blindsided by descisions made by those who don’t even spend their days in the classroom. i miss what roeper used to be, and what it should be. i see this place gradually becoming just like all the other local private schools, and it makes me sad to see such a special place go.
