A Community of Learning
"Bloom is like a world where we work together and care about each other while we learn new things." --Joanna, age 6, Bloom student
Bloom Community School began with a vision for building a new kind of school in Bloomington-Normal - one that would welcome families excited about a small community of learning supporting excellent teachers dedicated to innovative, research-based educational practices. Bloom is focused on creating a K-8 student-centered, community-connected environment in which children are supported in developing healthy lifelong learning habits through project-based learning and social-emotional growth as part of a 21st-century skills framework.
​
Bloom's pilot academic year began in August 2017 and has developed into an innovative learning program. Experienced, creative, award-winning teachers lead each class, and outside of pandemic conditions, the school operates as a community of learning, with co-teaching and collaborative projects as well as school celebrations with all ages. Mixed-age classrooms create an environment in which teachers honor individual learning needs. For more details about our academic approach, click ABOUT BLOOM .
