The consolidation allows us to leverage our
relationship with Montverde Academy, an
exceptional private school with a focus on
student-athletes. The Montverde Academy
experience aligns nicely with IJGA’s mission
to develop life skills, knowledge, and
character. Currently, the school is delivering
instruction using distance learning technology
at the COVID-19 situation continues to
evolve, but plans are underway to resume
classroom learning later this year. Closer to
home, IJGA has a fully equipped education
center designed to facilitate learning, and
our dedicated team of college planning and
placement personnel are providing personal
attention to each student with an eye on
college admissions.
We have strengthened our team of
Residential Instructors with the addition of
former Old Carolina staff members. This team
is committed to more frequent and deeper
engagements with families. We are applying
lessons learned from the Coronavirus about
the importance of keeping families in the
loop. The manner in which we communicate
has changed for the better. We have also
placed a greater emphasis on our peer group
to create a shared vision and purpose for all
students.
Another significant change involves the
restructuring of the International Junior Golf
Tour. The consolidation results in the creation
of a domestic “Florida-only” Tour. We will
retool the program to focus on Junior Golf
Scoreboard Ranking while we establish a
strategy to facilitate and grow our college
placement.
We feel these steps can unlock the value
of IJGA and lead to a better student
experience, more success stories, and greater
brand equity. We are excited about this
development and the response we received
from students, their families and our larger
IJGA community. We are confident in the
talent and commitment of our people and we
are bullish on our future.
