About Us Baker & Bloom is a K-12 education organization that immerses students in academic rigor and creative thinking to prepare them for studying abroad and future careers. With the advent of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and unpredictable global forces, young people need to adapt and embrace lifelong learning to survive and succeed. Baker & Bloom understands this need and so we empower students with optimal mindsets and 21st-century skills through excellence in teaching. Our professional and passionate teachers and original Four-Leaf Approach motivate students to learn deeply. One student at a time, we enhance human potential and creativity. Our Founder 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, then 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. 2
