NC Governor's School Information
The North Carolina Governor's School is a four-week summer residential program for gifted and talented high school students, integrating academic disciplines, the arts, and unique courses on each of two campuses. Learning focuses on the exploration of the most recent ideas and concepts in each discipline, and it does not involve credit, tests, or grades. Students are selected to attend through a competitive process after being nominated by their public school unit or non-public school. Any rising junior or senior with achievement/grades in the top 5% of his/her grade level should see a high school counselor and your AIG Specialist, for more information about this exceptional opportunity.
