THE BEST INSTRUCTORS & COACHES, EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Exceptional programming starts with exceptional people. At BAM!, we invest in talent from the start, because when students are guided by prepared, passionate adults, learning sticks.
Our national recruitment strategy targets mission-driven educators and coaches with the skills and mindset to lead with confidence. Through scenario-based interviews and live demos, we assess not just what candidates know, but how they connect, manage a group, and bring curriculum to life. Every site also includes a dedicated Site Lead who bridges communication between school teams and BAM! staff to ensure alignment and consistency.
All instructors receive robust training in our curriculum as well as classroom management, inclusive teaching practices, and relationship-building. And through ongoing professional development, we help our teams continue to grow, so every student gets a high-quality experience, every time.
Here’s how we make it happen:

WHOLE-CHILD LEARNING IN ACTION
At BAM!, enrichment isn’t just about filling time - it’s about filling students with a love of learning that lasts. Our programs are intentionally designed to nurture the whole child, blending STEAM, arts, movement, SEL, and collaboration in ways that are developmentally rich and deeply engaging. Students aren’t just participants. They’re creators, teammates, problem-solvers, and explorers.
Every lesson, challenge, and activity is crafted to build 21st-century competencies while supporting students’ academic growth, emotional well-being, social development, and physical health.

Project-Based Discovery
We center our curriculum around project-based discovery: a hands-on, inquiry-driven model where students explore big ideas, tackle real-world challenges, and work together to bring their ideas to life. Whether students are designing energy-efficient cities, building bridges from everyday materials, or producing stop-motion animations, they’re simultaneously building vital collaboration, communication, and resilience skills.
Our projects are:
• Active and collaborative, promoting teamwork and leadership• Rooted in real-world relevance, helping students connect enrichment learning to their communities and futures
• Designed to build confidence, encouraging students to test ideas, take risks, and celebrate progress

Enrichment Topics That Speak to Kids & Align With Standards
We craft our curriculum around imaginative themes that captivate student interest while building skills across disciplines.
