SUMMER RESIDENTIAL GOVERNOR’S SCHOOLS
Sophomores and Juniors Invited to Apply to Governor’s Schools
Applications for 2023 Summer Residential Governor’s School are now available. These worthwhile programs provide enrichment in the areas of agriculture, humanities, mathematics, science and technology, and the arts (dance, theatre, instrumental and vocal music and visual arts). Students must be in 10th or 11th grade and enrolled during the 2022-2023 school year.
Summer Residential Governor’s Schools provide academically and artistically challenging programs to motivated and highly able students from across the Commonwealth. Each Governor’s School program focuses on one special area of interest.
Students live on a college or university campus for up to five weeks. During this time, they are involved in classroom and laboratory work, field studies, research, individual and group projects and performances, and seminars with noted scholars, visiting artists, and other professionals.
One of the most important aspects of the Summer Residential Governor’s Schools is the opportunity that participants have to live, study and get to know other students with similar interests and abilities from across Virginia. Both co-curricular and extra-curricular activities are designed to encourage students’ interests and abilities. Governor’s Schools are administered by the Department of Education in cooperation with local school divisions, colleges and universities.
