Governor's Schools in Virginia

Overview

The Jackson River Governor's School is a regional public school for motivated students in grades 11 and 12 who want to learn all they can about science, mathematics, and technology.

Governor's School differs in many ways from a traditional high school. Some of the differences include daily schedule, pace of work, group work, grading, relationships with faculty members, equipment, and atmosphere.

Governor's School students come to the Dabney S. Lancaster Community College campus for morning classes in math, science, and technology, and return to their home high school for afternoon classes in English, social studies, and electives.

Students have a peer group whose intellectual abilities and aptitude create a level of challenge not possible in their home schools.

Students use sophisticated laboratory and computer equipment whose cost is prohibitive to their home schools.

Students come from five school divisions in western Virginia: Alleghany County, Bath County, Botetourt County, Buena Vista City, and Covington City.
