The application process for both Governor's Schools (Visual and Performing Arts and Humanities and Medicine and Health Sciences) begins at the local school district level and is open to rising juniors and seniors (i.e. current 10th or 11th graders) enrolled in Virginia’s high schools. Application forms, along with guides for students, parents and high school administrators, can be found online.
“The Governor's School is such an incredible experience. It's the people you meet, the things you do, and the great times you have here. Our teachers are professionals in what they do… Everyone is also just so skilled in what they do… I don't think I've ever heard someone sing like that, or someone play the piano that well. These musicians were willing to work together to create amazing music.”
