The school does not follow its so-called philosophy it disregards the equality factor and the fact that students and teachers should be equal. Academics wise the school is fantastic, but the teachers are very bad. The two best teachers at the school have retired in the past two years. they were husband and wife and were the last two that truly believed in the philosophy when they left no one was left to carry on the legacy of the original founders the Roepers. this school has sports teams that will make you want to play for them but historically they are awful, and the diversity is awful. The adminastation and teachers to give no regards to anyone who is mentally challenged with autism, down symdrome, etc... the school is not worth the money unless you can deal with all this like 90% of the students do daily. It will prepare your kid for college and give you a good education, but your child will go through mental considerations of leaving the school 7/10 days like i do.
I was told they had 1 week for finalist interviews and then they were done. Plane tickets for myself and my daughter cost over $900. They said that they would pay for 1 ticket if I didn't get the job, both if I did. I flew out and did a 3 hour interview. They told me that I would know if I had the job by the end of the week.
After stringing me along for nearly a month, a receptionist calls me to ask where to send a check to. I had to ask her if it was for one ticket or two. She was very short with me and said 'one,' and hung up. They were not even able to tell me that I did not get the job. This is after I flew across the country with an infant and a two-year-old for their finalist interview.
I landed a great job at a wonderful school shortly after this ordeal.
I hope the kids are enjoying their decision. I know I am.

All in all, Roeper is a great school with a wonderful philosophy. However, it seems as though the philosophy isn't truly honored. The school advocates for diversity and independent thinking, yet houses what may be one of the most closed minded environments I have ever encountered. Yes, it is immensely accepting and kind towards minority groups and members of the LGBTQ+ community. However, if your political views sway even slightly from the far left, prepare to be lectured by teachers, shunned by students, and verbally berated. There may be physical diversity, but the school "informs" its students from a very young age about the world-and the supposedly correct way of interpreting it, and henceforth fosters a homogeny of political and social views so profound, that the community at times can resemble a well trained hive-mind. Overall my experience was positive, but please be wary of this detail before enrolling your children.
