Roeper School (Michigan)

The Roeper School is a private coeducational day school with campuses in Birmingham and Bloomfield Hills, Michigan in Greater Detroit, serving students at all levels from preschool through the 12th grade.

At the time the Roepers fled Europe, Annemarie had been invited by Anna Freud to be her protégé and had completed her first year of medical school.

Together the Roepers 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 not harbor prejudice.
