STUDENT LIFE Welcome to life on the Bishops Gate Golf Academy campus where you will make friends for a lifetime and have an incredible boarding school experience. Academy life is hard work, but there is plenty of fun and excitement to balance the demands of being a student-athlete. The Bishops Gate Golf Academy campus is much more than just a place to sleep and to study. It is a place to integrate academics, sports, character development and a healthy social experience. Students make friends from all over the world and thrive in this safe, caring and structured environment. Housing Consider this. Students from 12 states and 30 countries come together in one Academy. Our Student Care mission is to inspire, build and encourage excellence in character. Campus has a ‘home away from home’ feeling with student housing in modern, well-furnished, spacious homes where students room with either one or two others with a maximum of six students per home. In addition, each home has a living room, dining room, fully-appointed kitchen and laundry room, and, in most cases, an enclosed patio for relaxation and games. All units have wireless Internet access and satellite television. Supervision, Safety and Security Students receive guidance and supervision by resident house parents who take on the responsibility of overseeing our students’ daily lives as well as assisting with their school commitments. BGGA is inside a private, gated community. Only residents, staff and members of the club have access to the community. Choose Your Fun. This is student life. It’s work, play and everything in between. 26
