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, and the research it is built on is published with its sources.

06

The week, in one view.

My Week keeps the student's calendar beside the plan. Paste a private calendar link from Google, Apple, Outlook or school and Bloom reads it in, or subscribe to Bloom's own feed.

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 your state's 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 builds a day-by-day study schedule weighted to weak topics, with SAT Math drills and links to official practice tests.

05

Where You Stand.

Where You Stand compares the student's SAT and GPA with admitted-student ranges at the colleges on their list. 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 someone in the family 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, read from a calendar link you connect. A connected calendar tells Bloom that Tuesday at four is taken — and cannot tell it why. By default Bloom keeps the time, not the title.

Helpful updates, used sparingly

Updates focus on what needs attention.

Bloom reviews the family's plan every day and only sends a nudge when there is a useful next step or an approaching deadline.

01

Clear rules for nudges.

Visible rules decide whether a nudge is useful. If nothing has changed and nothing is due, Bloom does not send one.

02

Tell Bloom when a nudge is not helpful.

Marking a nudge not useful quiets similar nudges for 30 days. Your feedback affects which future reminders appear.

03

Fewer, more useful reminders.

A run contains at most three items, nothing repeats within the week, and unreadable results are not delivered. You can see why each nudge appeared.

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 checklist for each college shows which one 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 checks eligibility and ranks awards by expected value for the hours they take. Auto-fill gathers facts already on file into a copy-ready packet for each application.

Money · for parents

See the family price, not just the sticker.

The Financial Aid Estimator gives cost the same weight as fit. Families can see aid eligibility, an estimated net price for each college, and what borrowing could mean before the list becomes final.

01

Start with the aid picture.

The estimator calculates SAI and estimates federal and state aid. It adds a rough CSS Profile figure when you enter the details that change it, such as home equity or business assets.

02

Price every college.

Each college on the list gets an estimated net price, mostly from federal data on what families at your income paid there. These are estimates, not offers.

03

See the list by the money.

The most affordable, best-value, and likely-merit colleges on the list are pulled out at the top once the family's cost is in view.

04

Look past graduation.

A 10-year repayment projection shows what borrowing could mean after graduation, with a warning when the debt runs high against expected earnings.

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

Work together with clear boundaries.

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

Meetings that lead to next steps.

Your own counselor can put meetings on the family calendar with their Zoom or Meet link. Session notes stay with the same plan, and agreed next steps can be saved to deadlines and goals.

04

Share the useful moment.

Share an Ask Bloom conversation, or @mention a parent or student to bring them into it. 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.
