LEADERSHIP + CHARACTER
DEVELOPMENT
As part of our mission, BGGA has developed a full nine-month
student development curriculum to educate and encourage students
to change, evolve, grow and be a better version of themselves.
Building character takes effort and artistry, and the humility and grace
to allow yourself to be molded and shaped by life circumstances and
your own limitations and weaknesses.
If, at the end of their stay at BGGA, students are more humble than
proud, more empathetic than self-serving, and more grateful than
expectant, then they will have started their journey on the road to
character. Building character takes a lifetime, but a fulfilled life is
created, not given to us, and we craft it by making good decisions
and building good habits over time that will serve us well for the
rest of our lives.
• We are exceptionally proud of our Peer Group, who share the
common experience of making sacrifices in leaving home, often
having the courage to study in a foreign country, in a foreign
language, and having the ambition for greatness as a professional
golfer or at least an outstanding college golf experience.
• The student influences on each other is amazing, and we manage
this with light touch.
• Senior students are elected as role model Ambassadors and
participate in Leadership programs.
• All students participate in weekly Character sessions based on
the college athlete Habitude program.
