Explore · grades 9–10

Start with what is already there.

Interests, the school day, and the week ahead become a first plan without asking a ninth grader to know the ending.

01

Four years, visible.

The Journey timeline lays out grades 9 through 12 in one view. Today's next step stays connected to the longer plan.

02

Interests that can change.

What I'm Into keeps the student's interests concrete as they develop. The private Journal gives those thoughts a place that stays the student's.

03

Clubs from their school.

Bloom scans the student's actual school website to find clubs offered there. Discovery begins with options the student can really join.

04

Opportunities close to home.

Local Opportunities surfaces camps, competitions, and programs nearby. Families can see what fits before another season passes.

05

Practice with a purpose.

Learning Lab gives students a place to practice what they are learning. The work stays part of the same four-year journey.

06

The week, in one view.

My Week keeps the student's calendar beside the plan. Sync it with Google Calendar or an ICS calendar.

Build · grades 10–11

Let the record grow with them.

Courses, scores, activities, and documents stop living in separate folders. The student can see what is strong and what needs attention next.

01

Profile and stats.

Keep the student's profile and stats in one record. Export a copy as CSV, PDF, or JSON.

02

School and Courses.

Upload a transcript, including a PDF, then plan courses against graduation requirements. Bloom checks what is complete and what still needs attention.

03

Activities and Awards.

Keep activities and awards together with a resume-health score. AI can draft a Common App activity description for the student to review.

04

SAT and ACT prep.

Upload a score-report PDF and follow score trends over time. Bloom generates a study schedule around the work ahead.

05

Where You Stand.

Where You Stand benchmarks the student's current record. The comparison stays visible without turning into an admissions promise.

06

Documents AI.

Upload a transcript or score report and Documents AI extracts the fields it finds. Nothing is applied to the record until the student approves it.

My Week · the whole family

Where the 168 hours actually go.

Mark the evenings that are already spoken for, and My Week adds the week up. It shows the arithmetic and stops there — Bloom never rules that a student is overcommitted.

An illustration of the week view, not a screenshot — the real one counts your student's actual week, synced from Google Calendar or ICS. A connected calendar tells Bloom that Tuesday at four is taken — and cannot tell it why. Bloom keeps the time, never the title.

The daily agent · restraint

Most days it has nothing to say.

Bloom looks at the family's plan each morning and usually stays quiet. An assistant that speaks every day is a notification feed, and families already have enough of those.

01

Whether to speak is code.

Rules a family can see decide whether anything is worth saying — not the model. If nothing has moved and nothing is due, the run ends before a single word is generated.

02

“Not useful” is taken seriously.

Dismissing a nudge silences that subject for 30 days, not until next week. Telling Bloom something was unhelpful has to make it less likely to return, or the button is a lie.

03

When in doubt, silence.

At most three items in a run, nothing repeated within the week, and when the reply cannot be read cleanly, nothing is delivered at all. The reason a nudge fired sits one click away — the agent never gets to say “trust me.”

Apply · grade 12

Give senior year one home.

The list, drafts, deadlines, interviews, and scholarships stay connected when the pace changes.

01

Build the college list.

Browse colleges, match them as Safety, Match, or Reach, and compare choices side by side. Plan campus visits and track demonstrated interest with the same list.

02

Applications, with a signal.

The Applications tracker keeps every college moving in one place. A readiness score shows which application needs a closer look.

03

Deadlines from the list.

Bloom generates deadlines from the colleges the student saves. Export them by ICS when the family needs the dates elsewhere.

04

The Command Center.

The Command Center brings senior-year work into one view. It gives the family one place to return when the list gets busy.

05

Drafts that can go back.

Write essays with version history and roll back when a revision goes the wrong way. Open the supplemental prompt library for each college and keep brag sheets alongside the work.

06

Practice the conversation.

Interview prep includes voice-enabled mock interviews. The student can practice before the real conversation.

07

Scholarships, with the math.

Scholarship Finder pairs the search with ROI analysis and projected awards. Application auto-fill cuts down repeated entry.

Money · for parents

See the family price, not just the sticker.

The Financial Aid Estimator gives cost the same weight as fit. Families can compare aid paths, likely net cost, and borrowing before the list becomes final.

01

Start with the aid picture.

The estimator calculates SAI/EFC and estimates federal and state aid. It also includes CSS Profile institutional estimates where they apply.

02

Price every college.

See an estimated net cost for each college on the list. Compare the number the family may face, not only the published price.

03

Rank the list by the money.

Sort colleges by most affordable, best ROI, and likely merit. The order can change once the family's cost is in view.

04

Look past graduation.

Loan-repayment scenarios show what different borrowing choices could mean over time. Families can compare the tradeoff before choosing a path.

05

Know which aid path applies.

FAFSA eligibility guidance explains which federal path applies. For non-citizen students, it includes the CSS Profile path to institutional aid.

Together · family and counselor

Close enough to help. Clear enough to breathe.

Bloom keeps the family on one plan while preserving the student's private work and the household's control over access.

01

Two logins. Every child.

Students and parents have separate logins to the same plan. Multi-child households can keep each student's journey in the family account.

02

Family Check-Ins.

Family Check-Ins give parents and students a shared place to pause. The next conversation does not have to begin with a status chase.

03

Counsel that writes back.

Meet in a live Counselor Session around the same plan. Commitments from the session write back into deadlines and goals.

04

Share the useful moment.

Share work with the family and use @mentions to bring in the right person. The context travels with the mention.

05

A portfolio they can send.

Create a PIN-protected portfolio share link, choose from 10 themes, or download the static site.

06

Progress, not surveillance.

Parents see how the journey is going — never a feed of everything typed. Student privacy mode keeps the Journal, essay drafts, and chat the student's own until they choose to share. Working together does not require opening every draft.

07

Listen or speak.

Read-aloud voice and dictation let students listen or speak when that works better.

08

A calmer counselor view.

Bring your own counselor: enter their practice code, tick which children they may see, and revoke any one of them in a click. Their caseload console keeps those students together.

For independent counselors

One caseload. The family's boundaries stay put.

A parent enters the practice code and chooses the children. The counselor reads the journeys they were given, schedules meetings onto the family calendar, and trades documents in one place.
