BGA has been the center point and catalyst to the growth of my Daughter over the years in many areas of her life. This is not only in high honor Academics but also in her Athleticism, overcoming social anxiety, grasping time management, organizational skills, taking accountability and building meaningful & lasting relationships with friends, staff & faculty. She’s more confident branching out often into new roles, eagerly grasping all opportunities and resources available to her. Seeing her becoming this responsible young adult is such a proud moment. Without the BGA scholarships, this wouldn’t have been possible for us. BGA not only contributed to her growth, it also contributed to mine as well. We are forever grateful and forever Wildcats.

Mr. Lape is such a blessing to BGA. He truly cares for each student and values their success. I don’t know of a student that has gone through his classroom and hasn’t loved it. Thank you to Mr. Lape for his years of dedication to BGA.

BGA has been a blessing for both my boys. They’ve gotten to explore and develop their intellectual curiosity, personalities and character within the confines of a terrific community. We feel fortunate to be a part of the BGA family.
