Roeper Academics

specific goals for individuals in response to their intellectual and personal/social characteristics, needs and interests. In the Lower School, homerooms serve as the centers for language arts activities, social studies and mathematics. Additional classes in science, music, French, art, dance and movement, physical education, library and computer skills are part of the curriculum.
