For over 85 years, Roycemore School in Evanston has nurtured generations of students in an attentive, stimulating environment. A college-preparatory, independent, co-educational day school, Roycemore celebrates its blend of backgrounds, cultures, and interests with students from Chicago, Evanston, and surrounding suburbs. From Junior Kindergarten (ages 3 and 4) through 12th grade, students enjoy small classes that permit teachers to challenge them and to help those who might find material difficult. Roycemore’s personal attention inspires individual excellence. Graduating classes consistently include several National Merit award winners and Advanced Placement scholars. Roycemore is adjacent to Northwestern University and qualified Upper School students may take for-credit courses there at no additional charge. Roycemore’s Lower School features a challenging, diversified curriculum enriched by numerous activities, field trips, with specialists in art, music, physical education, and more. In small classes with caring, committed teachers, children are immersed in the pleasure of discovery. Computers are in each classroom and their use is integrated into the daily program. French is introduced in kindergarten through oral/aural exposure. Close communication with parents is maintained all year. A strong character education is emphasized. Middle School is a transition to a more departmentalized academic schedule. Fifth-grade students have one main teacher for most subjects and another for social studies, along with specialists in art, music, speech/drama, French, library, computers, and physical education. Sixth- through eighth-graders have different teachers in each subject area. Extracurricular activities provide opportunities for all students to participate in athletic events, performances, and clubs. The Upper School focuses on preparing students for college. Roycemore offers a full range of courses, from studio art to physics, including advanced-placement classes in all disciplines. Numerous dramatic, dance, club, publications, and athletic activities, as well as a strong faculty-advisory program, round out a student’s Upper School experience. A three-week January Short Term provides students a rare opportunity to plan and carry out independent projects––at school, in the Chicago/Evanston area, and throughout the world.
