FAQ
HOW MUCH DOES BLOC COST AT INSTITUTIONS?
Bloc is FREE for all schools looking to integrate the app into their community. The app is fully customizable, since all schools work differently. With this, the school will advertise Bloc to their students, parents and alumni using multiple forms of contact. The more campuses utilizing the app, the better the experience will be for everyone involved!
IT ALL SOUNDS GREAT, BUT WHAT DOES THIS APP ACTUALLY DO?
Bloc allows everyone involved at a high school or college campus stay more informed about their environment, both in and outside of campus. Try new things and spark new or old interests from the many different features provided by the app. With the feedback that has been provided, Bloc creates a more personalized experience, while building a stronger community presence.

Bloc also provides 24/7 support and hard to beat prices (because it is free)!
