Founder, COllege Readiness coach & Strategist
Hi! My name is Jama Riley. I created Bloom Scholar Group and its Strategic Scholar Institute because I saw too many ambitious teens feeling overwhelmed rather than empowered.
My mission is to help your student bridge the gap between their hidden potential and the positioned success they deserve.
With a background in education and student success, I guide families through the pivotal high school years with a focus on self-discovery, strategy, and genuine growth, ensuring every student steps into their future with clarity and purpose.

Students will leave with greater self-understanding, reflection tools, a plan for the next year of high school, SAT strategy for Reading & Writing section question types, a college list that fits, a resume, and more confidence in how to approach the next stage of high school and beyond.

The program runs for 3 weeks with 3 weekly sessions (hybrid model) and guided activities/coaching sessions between meetings.
