The Roeper School is a private
preschool through the 12th grade
. It was formerly known as Roeper City and Country School.
History
The Roeper School was founded in 1941 by George and
Nazi Germany. At the time the Roeper fled Europe, Annemarie had been invited by Anna Freud
to be her protégé and, in fact, had completed her first year of medical school.
Together the Roeper founded the school intending it to be a place that, by teaching personal motivation and encouraging critical thinking skills and analysis, would educate children who would not follow leadership blindly as they believed had happened to many people in
interwar Germany. It was also hoped the children would come to recognize the inherent dignity of every individual and to not harbor prejudice.[4]
The school first moved to the
high school) program was added, and in 1981, the middle and upper schools moved to the former Adams Elementary School in Birmingham, Michigan (42°33′00.8″N 83°12′23.6″W / 42.550222°N 83.206556°W), thereby creating two campuses.[5]
The Capital Campaign fundraising initiative began in the mid-nineties and has provided the school with its largest investment in new facilities, including a new elementary school classroom building that sits adjacent to the new community center that houses the school's first full size gymnasium, and the lower school's first large choir and band rooms.
