“What I like about Bloom… everything! We spend time outside a lot. We learn a lot of math. Art and science are fun. There are nice people at Bloom, too.”
-Bloom Member, age 9
Belonging to Our Learning Community:
In order to provide exceptional freedom and flexibility, all children enrolled in any program at Bloom are registered as homeschool students for the purpose of state recognition.
Bloom Learning Community welcomes children without regard to race, color, national origin, ethnicity, religion, economic background, gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation, and families without regard to composition.
As a microschool, Bloom currently does not have the resources to support students who have intensive emotional, physical, behavioral, or learning challenges. Bloom also has more freedom for self-direction than most traditional school environments, which is ideal for many children, but for others it can make things more challenging. We ask that you keep in mind our program’s structure when applying, and invite you to contact us if you’d like help determining if your child’s specific needs would be best met at Bloom.
“Bloom isn’t strict like my old school, we can do what interests us, not be forced to do things. I also like helping the younger kids and how we’re outside a lot.”
-Bloom Member, age 13
Application Process
- Bloom has rolling enrollment and is always accepting applications! -
Currently a few open spots remain, and then applicants are added to our wait list. Apply today!
Step One:
Schedule a tour to meet us and ask questions!
Step Two:
Apply online here! Complete one application per child. Applications are accepted year round and will be processed once the non-refundable $50 (per family) application fee is received.
Step Three:
A family interview with Directors and/or a Shadow Day will be scheduled after an application and fee is received. Additionally, the first month of each new membership is considered a trial period to help determine if Bloom will be a good match for your family’s current needs, goals, and expectations.
Step Four:
Membership fee payment and contracts are arranged once membership is offered.
“Our kids really enjoy Bloom and it lines up with how we want to raise them. We love how hands on it is and how project based it is. Each year it gets better. The choir show, the art show, the Jack Frost parade, the summer lemonade stand….it’s all great. If it fits your parenting style and you stay involved, and you and your kids are open minded (and you aren’t satisfied with a standard education)…this can be the place for you.”
-Karl, A Bloom Parent
“I like how everyone is so nice and everyone has someone to play with and are welcoming to new people.”
-Bloom Member, age 8
Membership Benefits of Each Program:
“We get to spend a lot of time outside and we’re close to the park. It’s easy for me to learn here and I made really, really good friends!”
-Bloom Member, age 9
Tiered Membership Fees:
Bloom Learning Community has a tiered membership pricing model in order to make Bloom affordable and accessible to as many families as possible. Tier 1 reflects the true cost of the program. However, a lower tier can be privately selected based on an honor system of current financial ability to pay. Tier selection does not affect the quality of programming. (All tiers will receive the same content with individual cost varying according to self-reported ability to pay.)
A deposit of 15% of the full year’s fees is required to secure enrollment and are due by August 1st. Tuition payments are spread out over 9 months (Sept 1st-May 1st) thereafter. For more information about annual tuition fees please click the button below and contact us at info@growatbloom.com.
(Additional fees may include field trips and optional purchases for special projects and programs.)
