Student Life
Getting Involved
Getting involved is an integral part of student life at BGA. We intentionally offer a balanced educational experience that challenges students academically while also providing time and opportunity to explore and pursue their passions outside of the classroom — making each student’s BGA experience uniquely theirs to create. In fact, no two students’ BGA experience is the same. Each student is known and nurtured as an individual, and this extends to their artistic, athletic, co-curricular, and extracurricular endeavors.
Arts
In-class instruction for visual and performing arts begins in kindergarten. Students expound upon those interests during after-school programming, from short courses to private and small group lessons to performance groups and large-scale productions.
Athletics
The BGA Athletics Department and BGA Legends Youth Leagues provide kindergarten through 12th grade students with opportunities to play competitive team sports. Students are encouraged to participate in as many athletic activities as they desire and that are practical for the student and the school.
Extended Care
Extended care at BGA for Lower and Middle School students provides time for play, homework, extracurricular activities, and additional academic and social emotional support.
Traditions
For well over a century, BGA has been the educational leader in Williamson County, and with those many years comes a number of traditions that connect Wildcats across generations.
Community Service
Students in kindergarten through 12th grade participate in service-learning projects, earning community service hours as they develop a better understanding of what it means to be a good citizen and the value of meaningful, respectful service to others.
Clubs & Organizations
BGA offers more than 75 clubs and organizations with a wide variety of opportunities for students to explore their interests and develop leadership skills.
