About Roeper

The Roeper School brings internationally renowned expertise to the Detroit area and beyond.

As the oldest preschool through grade 12 school for the gifted in the nation, we have always prepared children, not for the next grade, but for the world. We seek to serve as many students as possible through generous financial assistance.

At Roeper, students come to understand and embrace all they are, learn to use their voices, and gain the confidence to reach out compassionately to others.
