BGGA has over 20 years experience educating international students.
POWER of PEERS
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.
In 2017, BGGA introduced 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, The BGGA Lifestyle Program helps leverage
the leadership potential of students to accomplish two goals:
• Students become more closely connected with school and more deeply
engaged in their own learning, which research makes clear leads to
greater academic achievement.
Peer group interactions and school culture have consistently been
named among the most influential factors on student learning.
• Students develop leadership, social/emotional, non-cognitive skills that
research shows are critical to college and career success.
