About P.E.T.A.L.S.
P.E.T.A.L.S. is BLOOM House Inc.'s education and personal-development initiative created to cultivate the whole person—academically, emotionally, professionally, creatively, and socially.
We believe education should do more than prepare a student to pass a test.
It should prepare them to build a life.
P.E.T.A.L.S. is being developed as a comprehensive learning ecosystem where students can discover their strengths, develop practical skills, explore careers, build leadership capacity, and learn how to participate in the communities they are preparing to lead.
"Education should cultivate the person, not just the student."

P.E.T.A.L.S. Preparatory School
A Different Kind of School
P.E.T.A.L.S. Preparatory School is the future educational institution being developed through BLOOM House Inc. The vision is an eco-conscious educational campus designed around the development of the whole student.
Rather than separating academic achievement from personal development, career preparation, leadership, and community responsibility, P.E.T.A.L.S. brings them together. Students will be encouraged to:
The Eco-Campus
One of the defining ideas behind P.E.T.A.L.S. is the creation of an eco-conscious campus where the environment itself becomes part of the education. Students could experience hands-on learning through:
The campus becomes the classroom.
Three Divisions of Learning

HBCU & College Pathways

From Student to Steward
A student becomes a steward when they understand that what they learn can be used to improve the world around them. P.E.T.A.L.S. is being designed to cultivate that mindset.
The goal isn't simply:
Graduate → Get a Job
