Students come from seven local school districts around the Roanoke Valley. Admission is competitive. If you've done well in science and math, like it, and really want to learn and do more, then this is for you. If you are flexible and willing to do things in new and creative ways, this is for you. If you have completed algebra 1, geometry, and you know keyboarding, this is for you.
Most visits last a half day.
You can visit classes, meet and talk to students, and spend some private time with our counselor asking questions. After the first year, students choose an elective from a menu of courses like aquatic ecosystems, advanced computer science, biotechnology, forensic science, mentorship, or product design engineering. Probably in lots of ways. Many of the courses in the school were planned with the help of college faculty. In order to get an application you and one parent or guardian must attend one of the Governor's School Application Information meetings held at the Governor's School and at local high schools throughout the region during February.
