“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.
While Bloom makes every effort to accommodate many unique student needs, as a microschool, Bloom currently does not have the resources to support students who have emotional, physical, or behavioral challenges or intensive learning difficulties.
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.
Learners with impaired behavioral or emotional control may not be best served in this type of setting.
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. We will determine our ability to serve students on an individual basis.
“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.”

Application Process
- Bloom has rolling enrollment and is always accepting applications! -
Applicants will be added to a waitlist once all spots have been filled.
Step One:
Sign up to be added to our contact list. We will get back to you to schedule a tour when available.
Step Two:
Tour Bloom and ask Directors your questions.
Step Three:
After your tour of Bloom, your family will be sent an application if you’d like to move forward. 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. If all spots in the desired program are full, applicants are added to our waitlist in the order received.
Step Four:
A family interview with Directors and/or a Shadow Day may be scheduled after the application and fee are 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 Five:
Membership fee payment and contracts are arranged once membership is offered.
“I like how everyone is so nice and everyone has someone to play with and are welcoming to new people.”
