Blue Ridge Virtual Governor's School

The BRVGS is an academic year governor's school that provides a challenging and differentiated program of studies in core academic subjects, emphasizing mathematics, science, and technology. The program utilizes inter-active video technology, field trips, and team teaching to create a regional community of learners from the counties of Fluvanna, Goochland, Greene, Louisa, Nelson, and Orange. Methods of instruction and learning aided by technology will aim to put the individual student in control of his or her learning and education.

Students must complete the Governor's School Core Courses on each grade level as they progress, in order to be eligible for graduation with the Governor's School Seal. They must also meet the credit requirements for each area of study. Failure to maintain at least a "B" average in the core courses at any report period will result in academic probation status and will jeopardize the student's participation in the BRVGS. Students may enter in the freshman or sophomore year of high school, provided that all prerequisites have been met. Entering freshmen must have completed Algebra I with a grade of "B" or better. Entering sophomores must have completed both Algebra II and Geometry each with a grade of "B" or better ( enrollment is limited).
