Wellbeing - Physical and Mental

At Bloom, we understand that the wellbeing of our students is fundamental to their success and happiness. We embrace a compassionate systems approach, recognizing that well-being is interconnected – mind, body, and spirit. Our comprehensive Future Ready Literacy and Advisory program integrates Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) with physical wellness practices. This holistic approach creates a safe and supportive space for students to develop the skills they need to learn, grow, and flourish, not just individually, but also as part of a larger, interconnected community.

We believe that emotional intelligence (EQ) is as crucial as intellectual ability (IQ) and is an essential part the Future Ready Literacies that Bloom students need to develop. From the moment students join our community, they are welcomed into a supportive and nurturing environment. Our dedicated homeroom advisors, experienced college counselors, and caring staff work together to ensure each student feels valued and supported. We promote a positive school climate where mutual respect and empathy are woven into the fabric of our daily interactions.

Our Future Ready Literacy curriculum and Advisory help students understand elements of wellbeing, build strengths in communication, leadership, and character. Our Advisory and counselors will teach students essential life skills such as self-awareness, managing emotions, empathy, building relationships, and making responsible decisions. These lessons are incorporated throughout the school experience, from the classroom to extracurricular activities, to ensure students develop resilience, confidence, and the ability to navigate life’s challenges.

Physical wellbeing is equally prioritized through activities that encourage movement and mindfulness. Imagine starting your day with a tai chi session in the Wellbeing Grove or participating in a meditation workshop led by a visiting expert. Our Forest School and outdoor learning initiatives, along with mindfulness spaces, ensure that students not only understand the importance of physical health but also engage actively with nature and practice stress-reduction techniques.

At Bloom, we equip you early on with the tools to discover the joy of movement, the necessity of rest, and the best ways to care for yourself and others. This isn’t just a school; it’s a place where you are prepared not just for academic success, but for a fulfilling and balanced life ahead.
