2016 summer camp brochure final

To ignite and nurture Student Curiosity, Intellect,

and Character

Character, Scholarship, and Excellence comprise the framework for Battle

Ground Academy’s educational approach. Whether it is through the Honor Code that holds our students to a high standard of personal integrity or the engaging challenges that students meet in the classroom, art studio or athletic field, these characteristics have distinguished a BGA education and BGA graduates since 1889.

As the oldest independent school in Williamson County, BGA takes great pride in being a school that provides a state-of-the-art, 21st century education in the context of the incredibly rich and vibrant traditions that only 125 years of independent school education can bring.
