Renée Boey founded Baker &
Bloom to promote innovative
learning, service, and leadership
among young people. Baker &
Bloom’s mission is shaped by
Renée’s own educational
journey. She enjoyed learning
at both local and
international schools in Hong
Kong before completing her
secondary education at St.
Paul’s School in Concord, N.H.
The school’s diversity and
emphasis on arts, humanities, and
service instilled in her an appreciation
for creativity, thinking from multiple
perspectives, and a desire to lead a
meaningful life.
After graduating from Harvard College as an English major, Renée obtained an MPhil
in Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, and returned to Hong Kong. She
completed a teaching internship at St. Paul’s Co-Educational College, received her
Postgraduate Diploma in Education at the University of Hong Kong, and taught at
the ISF Academy as an IB English and Humanities teacher before harnessing her
experiences and passions to launch Baker & Bloom. Whether it is teaching the
inspirED Social Entrepreneurship Program, designing curriculum, or coaching a
student, Renée hopes to inspire young people to learn with joy and embrace life with
positivity and creative confidence.
