WELCOME TO BLOOM KKCA ACADEMY
Our school is built with an eye toward the future. Founded by educators, entrepreneurs, and engineers, Bloom KKCA Academy provides an innovative G1-6 bilingual, project-based education.
From a NASA engineer to a reading specialist with more than 1,000 hours of training, our teachers are what make Bloom special.
CARE, THINK, ACT
Care, Think, Act is our education model that addresses our students' holistic development: their wellbeing, positive mindsets, disciplinary thinking, and engagement with the community.
CARE
At Bloom KKCA Academy, we embed positive education into every aspect of the school. Through our daily campfires, where character and positive education are taught explicitly, students learn to take care of themselves and those around them. Our project-based curriculum also asks students to engage deeply with, and thereby care for, their community and the world around them.

THINK
A key pillar of our curriculum is the cultivation of mindsets: growth mindset, creative mindset, entrepreneurial mindset, and sustainability mindset.
Instead of viewing knowledge as subjects, a mere collection of dates, actors, formulas and facts, our students engage in disciplinary learning where they learn to think like a mathematician, artist, engineer, or historian. This gives them diverse ways to make sense of the world and many ways to solve problems and apply knowledge.

ACT
Our school’s bias for action comes through the service that students take on for their community and our incorporation of project-based learning at every grade level. In grade 2, for example, students collect and analyze their own data of temperature and humidity to study the natural world using the scientific engineering method.
