This is a series of three injections and takes several months to complete. Georgia law requires that all students entering ninth grade must take four years of math, three years of science, three years of social studies, and one year of health and physical education. Graduation requirements vary according to the course of study. The program is paid for with lottery dollars and is free to the participating families. It is offered in both public schools and private day care centers, as well as at the Fort Gordon Child Care Center.
Registration takes place in the Spring of each year for the following fall.
Since there is limited space in each center or school and appointments are competitive, interested parents may need to apply at more than one place. Be aware that the program runs on the same calendar as public schools, meaning that child care will need to be arranged for holidays and summer. The program is operated like a school, with attendance and tardiness rules. DSN number is 780-6494. College Programs Brenau University, Paine College, Southern Illinois University, Georgia Military College, and Central Michigan University offer degree programs on Fort Gordon.
