LEADERSHIP + CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HABITUDES BGGA is tasked with helping students from a wide variety of cultures and religions to be upstanding young adults, leaders in their community and society, and to be ready for college and the ‘real world’. We do this on a day-to-day basis through the life lessons we teach our student-athletes through golf and education, but we also enhance character through a transformative learning opportunity called HABITUDES. The HABITUDES Character Program extends the course of the school year and provides students with many opportunities for individual and team development. While the activities and assignments change throughout the course of the year, every HABITUDES activity is designed to be an engaging, challenging and transformative learning opportunity. By delving into topics such as: integrity, honesty, ethics, gratitude, conflict resolution, communication skills. Students giving their all to this program and its many challenges, will be better poised to navigate their student- athlete journeys with greater confidence, conviction, and commitment. Altogether, as a result of their BGGA HABITUDES experience, students will depart the Academy well equipped to navigate life’s challenges, trials and tribulations. 58 SOCIAL IMPACT BGGA assists students to fulfill their social responsibility projects Montverde Academy requires. BGGA students of- fer support to communities, both locally and globally, and learn from those experiences and carry that knowledge forward. For many of our students, volunteerism and community service becomes a main focus, even extending into their college years later.
