Dr. Bloomfield’s first educational leadership role was at Nova Classical Academy in St. Paul, MN, a public charter school with an independent school mission.  During his six years at Nova Classical, the school grew from a 400 student K-6 school to a more than 900 student K-12 school with the creation of a college-preparatory high school.  Dr. Bloomfield led an $18mm building project from inception to completion, including coordinating with municipal authorities and bond underwriters. He brought the school into legal and financial compliance, oversaw a development campaign increase of 250%, and partnered with highly active parents on curricular, extra-curricular, and community programming.

While at the school, he designed both core and elective curricula, developed research taxonomies for students, and served as advisor to several student organizations.

Before entering the education field, Dr. Bloomfield worked as team leader at General Electric in Gaithersburg, MD where he was responsible for a 35+ person information technology department with annual revenue of over $4.5mm. Certified as a Six Sigma Green Belt, the fiscal and operational management tools and techniques he learned while at GE have been successfully applied in the education sector.
