BLOOM Courses
This year, Baker & Bloom is offering a new series of courses that provide gifted and
academically talented students special learning opportunities in the humanities.
These advanced courses encourage students to:
• engage in intellectually stimulating discussions facilitated by academic coaches
with research and teaching expertise;
• grapple with central questions in the humanities and gain an in-depth introduction
to important fields;
• stretch and strengthen their critical thinking, imagination, oral and written
communication, analytical, and rhetorical skills;
• collaborate with like-minded peers; 
• develop their intellectual and personal maturity.
Each course will culminate in a final project that allows students to explore personal
areas of curiosity and to synthesize learning.
