The Roeper School seeks best-fit candidates for admission to our school. We find that gifted students who are curious about learning, internally motivated, self-directed, and have a high ability to think abstractly are most successful in our school environment. Admission to our school is based on a review of many factors, including a gifted IQ test result, prior academic performance, positive teacher report, a successful visit to our school, and the student’s ability to give something back to our school community. All admissions decisions are made by a committee of Roeper staff members who look for best-fit, gifted candidates.
