Welcome to the 2006 Summer Residential Governor's Schools application process!
Please review the information carefully and speak with your student's guidance counselor to insure that they meet all division and state deadlines! All parts of the application are available at the following Web site: www.doe.virginia.gov/VDOE/Instruction/Govschools/SRGS
Your application has information sheets that the student should give to the two teachers whom they are asking to provide recommendations and to the guidance office for other data. All applications must be printed and signed by the student and parent in order to be considered.
The Summer Residential School for Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) as well as the Governor's Foreign Language Academies has separate applications and timelines.
