Educating Children for Life: The Modern Learning Community

...An exquisite and compelling statement of what education could and should be.

Annemarie begins with an insightful discussion of what she calls "the dilemma of modern education" in order to provide the reader with a clear understanding of "where she is coming from."  She then presents a philosophy of self-actualization and interdependence which represents a "philosophy of both learning and life." 

Readers will find this discussion of the philosophy and its implementation specific, meaningful, and well-illustrated by examples taken from Annemarie's 40-plus years of reflective experience. (Paperback)

My Life Experiences with Children: Selected Writings and Speeches

In this thoughtful selection of writings and speeches originally written between 1966 and 1992, Annemarie Roeper reflects on her personal journey as an educator of young children, an educator of gifted children, an innovator, a school administrator, and finally, a global citizen.

A lifelong advocate for the human race, Dr. Roeper has gathered the articles, essays, and addresses that were the keystones for her evolving philosophy and express her consistently held view of education as the vehicle for self-actualization within the reality of global interdependence.

The twenty-two selections represent different aspects of her love for and devotion to the soul of the human being, and her belief in the tenderness with which the soul needs to be nurtured. Essential reading for educators and other global citizens. (Paperback)

The Emotional Needs of the Gifted Child - available online

Excerpt: "The emotions are the heart and soul of giftedness. The heart and soul of the human being is my passion. I have been preoccupied with it throughout my life.

It is in the area of emotions where the gifted differ most from others. This is particularly evident in the most highly gifted. The emotions of the gifted grow out of their greater cognitive awareness which then translates into feelings. They understand early on that it hurts when you get injured and learn to avoid it by being extra careful. That means they develop fears earlier and stronger; sometimes, to an exaggerated degree."

Reflections on Counseling Gifted Adults - available online

This article is a reprint from the Advanced Development Journal, Volume 8, 1999.

ABSTRACT: Counseling’s main goal is to help the one counseled see, feel, value and understand his or her own Soul and to move forward. Rapport and trust are essential to this process. The counselor must provide a passionate yet detached safe space for the unfolding of the psychic drama, as if she held a client’s heart in her hand. An important issue is to maintain necessary respect for emotional resistances, which at times need to be maintained and at others removed. The counselor of the gifted must be open to the unexpected as well as to intuitional guidance. These counseling methods are also possible for a family member or friend but their use requires care for emotional safety.

ACROSS TIME & SPACE: The World of Bondy Schools
Featuring Annemarie Bondy Roeper
Directed by Kathryn Golden


This film describes the history of both the Roeper Schools and their antecedents in Switzerland and Germany. The documentary illustrates the philosophies and practices of Annemarie Roeper's parents (friends and contemporaries of Sigmund and Anna Freud) within the context of their historical and political underpinnings--- including the rise of Nazi Germany, WWII and the Civil Rights Movements in the United States.

The Bundy-Roeper educational philosophies stressed humanity and respect for individual differences as well as fulfilling the aesthetic and intellectual needs of the children and adolescents they served. This film uses original photographs and historical footage to present an informative and inspiring display of the directions modern education should be taking.
