Bloom International School is a vibrant, college-preparatory day and boarding institution that serves approximately 600 students from Pre-K through Grade 12 on a single, green campus that blends traditional architecture with modern learning facilities. Located on the edge of a mid-sized university town where families value both academic rigor and global awareness, Bloom was founded in 2004 by a coalition of international educators and philanthropists who believed that the right combination of inquiry, creativity, and service could “make the whole world a classroom.”
The curriculum is built around the International Baccalaureate continuum: the Primary Years Programme encourages young learners to ask, “What do I wonder?”, the Middle Years Programme expands the question to “How do systems connect?”, and the Diploma Programme demands, “What is my evidence and what is its impact?” French and Spanish begin in Kindergarten; Mandarin and Arabic are added in Grade 6. A signature STEM+X strand integrates robotics with sustainable agriculture: middle schoolers design drones to monitor compost bins, while seniors partner with a local land-grant university to test bio-fortified crops in the school’s two-acre teaching garden. The arts are equally advanced—there is a black-box theatre that doubles as an aerial-silk studio, a recording lab outfitted by a Grammy-winning alumnus, and kiln space large enough to fire a collaborative ceramic wall each year.
Faculty come from thirty-three countries and average twelve years of IB experience. Small classes (maximum 16 students) allow for advisory-family groups that meet twice a week to set socio-emotional and academic goals. Students in Grade 10 spend four weeks at one of six sister schools—in Kenya, New Zealand, South Korea, Switzerland, Peru, or the Netherlands—living with host families and co-designing micro-enterprises that confront local challenges such as water filtration or missing-middle finance.
Athletics follow a “sport for life” philosophy. Instead of early specialization, students rotate through four-season teams, from ultimate Frisbee and rock-climbing to sailing on a nearby lake. A recent graduate became a national champion in orienteering after discovering the sport during a Grade 8 expedition that required mapping the school’s own woodland trails.
Boarding starts in Grade 9 in two sustainably built houses. Each room overlooks a courtyard planted with species chosen to attract migratory butterflies. House parents—many of them PhD students or visiting poets—run TED-style salons on Tuesday nights and accompany boarders to Sunday service-learning projects at refugee centers or marine-biology sanctuaries.
College counseling begins in Grade 10; last year 92 % of seniors chose their “best-fit” offer and 68 % received merit aid. Bloom graduates enroll as citizen-scholars at universities such as McGill, Sciences Po, and Minerva, already practiced in trans-disciplinary research, intercultural empathy, and the habit of asking generous questions.
