Virginia's Governor's Schools give students academic and visual and performing arts opportunities beyond those available during the academic year. Students are able to focus on a specific area of intellectual or artistic strength and interest and to study in a way that best suits the advanced learner's needs. Each program stresses non-traditional teaching and learning techniques. For example, small-group instruction, hands-on-experiences, research, field studies, or realistic or artistic productions are major elements in the instructional design at all schools. 

Congratulations to these Black Knights!
