POWER OF PEERS
Our most valuable asset is our peer group of students whom we
believe are second to none. Our student-athletes share the common
experience of sacrifice, in leaving home; courage in typically coming
to a foreign country to study in a different language, and great
ambition to become a professional golfer or at minimum to have a
great college golf experience.
Peer group interactions and school culture have consistently been
named among the most influential factors on student learning.
Further, a mounting body of evidence clearly indicates that students
who receive programming focused on leadership, community and
character academically outperform their peers, get better grades,
and graduate at higher rates.
BGGA has both a peer-mentoring/leadership model known as
BGGA Ambassadors and a college athlete character program called
HABITUDES. Through these programs that harness the power of
peers, BGGA leverages the leadership potential of students critical
to college and career success.
Maintaining our student body at less than one hundred students
preserves the intimacy and familiarity of this peer group.
