HABITUDES CHARACTER PROGRAM
An engaging, challenging and
transformative learning opportunity
IJGA exists to empower young adolescents as
engaged citizens of an ever-changing, complex
global society. As such, more than golf, more than
school, IJGA must ensure the positive character
development of all students. IJGA achieves this aim
through the implementation of its HABITUDES
Character Program.
The HABITUDES Character Program extends the
course of the school year and provides students with
many opportunities for individual and team develop-
ment. 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, grati-
tude, conflict resolution and 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 IJGA HABITUDES
experience, IJGA students will depart the academy
well equipped to navigate life’s challenges, trials and
tribulations.
POWER OF PEERS
One of IJGA’s most valuable assets is the peer group
of students who we believe are second to none in
any other golf academy or boarding school. The
students 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
minimally to have a great college golf experience.
