We rank in the top 10% of B-Corps (benefits corporations) based on our rigorous standards of social performance, accountability, and transparency. We partner with social agencies to help people who face social barriers attend school. We also collaborate with STEP into a Job!™ to provide scholarships to high school seniors. Beyond that, our campus is community oriented. As our founder says, "Although it’s a clinical setting it’s not a clinical atmosphere." We have an open door policy where students are encouraged to come to staff for support. We also hold events, such as graduation celebrations, alumni lectures, and student appreciation days. At BAMA, we care about our students and it shows. That's why many of our students come to us as referrals from their friends and family (who are alumni) - something we take great pride in.
