An independent, project-based PreK-8 school. Bloom Community School is an independent and innovative private elementary school in Bloomington-Normal, IL.
Bloom’s mission is to cultivate joyful, independent learners in an educational environment that nurtures individual development by integrating high academic standards and community engagement. School academics are organized around project-based and thematic instruction, designed to integrate and expand on core content standards, while meaningfully incorporating the arts and practical skills. We encourage students to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their ability to contribute to collaborative problem solving that positively impacts their community and the world.

Some classes still have space available for the 26/27 school year! If this sounds like a good fit for your child, let's chat!

Our Pods and Seedlings spent some time this week exploring the parts of a pumpkin and estimating how many seeds were inside. During math, a group began counting and got up to 400 with more to count tomorrow! Any guesses on a final seed count?

The face you make when you find a word you don't know while reading a biography, so you look it up in the dictionary and learn what a lobotomy is!

Don't take our word for it! See what Bloom parents are loving about their student's education!
Our Blossoms class (6th-8th grade) has been working on making pockets, but since they go to Bloom 😉, they are also working on something MUCH deeper and foundational. They designed their own pockets, and the next part is important- they failed. That's right! Everyone's pockets ripped when they tested with heavier items (water bottles) and they quickly realized that their first designs had failed.
But then, they did something even more important- they tried again. They observed that everyone's pockets had ripped at the corners. Then they brainstormed how they could improve the designs, added split pins in the corners, and tested again. And it worked! Their new and improved pockets were able to hold significantly more weight!
A big part of the focus once our students reach the Blossoms class is preparing them for what comes after Bloom, including failing. But with lessons like this, we are helping them develop the tools to handle failure and move forward! We are also giving them space to build and practice those skills, so that when they do encounter failure in their futures, moving forward feels like intellectual muscle memory!
"Give your kids space to fail in contained, safe ways, and teach them to embrace and learn from the failures they experience. Show them how to face forward and go after the next challenge with renewed insight and energy." -Amy Edmonson for The Scientific American

Our Sprouts (3rd-5th grade) have been busy so far this year! Their study of denim has been more than just surface level. See how our Sprouts teacher (Miss Alanna) incorporates their project topic into multiple content areas to maximize learning!

To round out their studies on Food and Where it Comes From, our Seedlings and Pods visited one of the local farms they learned about- Rader Family Farms! They got to feed baby animals, learn about the important job of bees, visit the pumpkin patch, and explore the farm!

Our littlest learners are continuing their unit on Food and Where it Comes From and chose two local farms to research as part of their studies. And while they were busy learning about these farms, there were some BIG educational building blocks being laid behind the scenes!
