Since its founding, school leaders have thought carefully about tuition costs. We want to make Bloom Community School - which is a nonprofit organization - an affordable private school option in this community while also prioritizing the hiring of excellent teachers who are fairly compensated. Bloom also seeks to provide a unique, safe facility that supports classroom flexibility and a welcoming outdoor learning space. Tuition levels are also considered with an awareness of regional norms at unsubsidized private schools. Because Bloom's budget is constructed around a tuition-based model, and student numbers will fluctuate due in part to a range of family circumstances, Bloom leadership and parents coordinate fundraising efforts throughout the year to support organizational needs, scholarships, and academic opportunities. 
 

TUITION FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2024-2025:

• Pods Classroom (grades K-2) and Sprouts Classroom (grades 3-5): $8,700 annually (includes classroom supplies fee)

• Blossoms Class (6th - 8th grade): $9,300 annually (includes classroom supplies fee)

Bloom operates with the expectation that families will honor tuition payments on a monthly basis in order for teaching salaries and operating budgets to be paid without disruption. Bloom offers annual and flexibly scheduled monthly payment options through FACTS, a third-party financial management website for schools. (Bloom tuition is set yearly, with a minimum cost of living increase to reflect school commitments to salaries and meeting costs for facilities, academic program support, and dedicated costs.)

​

OTHER FEES:

• New Student Application Fee: $75 (nonrefundable). Students must apply to and be accepted to Bloom before applying for financial aid.

• Enrollment Deposit (required for both new and returning students, to be paid upon acceptance to receive an enrollment contract): $300

​

APPLICATION DEADLINES

• January - February 11, 2023 – Re-enrollment Application for continuing students is available online; first priority for placement in 2023-2024 classrooms is given to returning students during this time period. Re-enrolling students do not pay an application fee, but are required to pay an enrollment fee of $300 (not applied to tuition) in order to reserve a placement in the appropriate class. Re-enrollment communication after this deadline will be given consideration alongside new applicants unless circumstances require individualized discussion with the Bloom enrollment team.

  

• February 12- April 18, 2024 – New Student Applications will be accepted during this period for consideration. Applicants must submit both Parts 1 and 2 of the application form and to pay the $75 non-refundable application fee. A Bloom teacher or staff member will then contact each applying family to set up a personalized visit to review learner readiness.​ Those who apply after this time period will be considered as contingent upon the number of spaces already committed (with enrollment fee) or nearly finalized by the time of application.
