The PGBI Experience

PGBI GUARDIANS is a tangible, a unique and challenging experience. We emphasize personal responsibility and motivation, and our rules and polices reflect this belief. As we move out into this world, no one will be there to micromanage our behaviours and attitudes. In view of this fact, we have created an atmosphere which best encourages the qualities and characteristics that will allow us to succeed beyond our years within these walls.

At no point during your experience at PGBI GUARDIANS will you be subjected to any sort of hazing or abuse. The privileges and responsibilities of our members are the same the first day they walk into the house as tyros/candidates as they are for the seniors. If you are looking for an opportunity to take advantage of those younger than you, be careful. We are all adults, so you can expect to be treated as one.

Our academic expectations are high. We demand your best efforts and expect the highest results, yet here you will find no study hours or curfews. If your academic success is dependent on an authority figure telling you when and what to study, what and how to do, please stay at home with your mom. However, if you are ready to prove your capabilities in an atmosphere which encourages and rewards self-motivated behaviour, you may have found a new place to call home, and that is PGBI GUARDIANS.

Above all, PGBI GUARDIANS is a journey towards success later in life. The combination of the above experiences and opportunities will greatly assist you in achieving your life goals, whatever they may be. We encourage you to continue to explore the benefits you might gain by becoming a member of PGBI GUARDIANS. We are confident that in the end you will like what you see and hear, and that is the PGBI GUARDIANS.
