Summer Residential Governor’s School Application Information (10^th and 11^th grade students)

The Summer Residential Governor's Schools (SRGS) are month-long residential programs for current year tenth- and eleventh-grade gifted students in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Governor’s School is a challenging and enriching Virginia program designed for highly motivated students who are looking for a challenging summer experience.  The selection process is extremely competitive. Most students selected rank in the top 10% of their class and have scored in the 90th percentile on standardized measures of ability or achievement tests. These residential programs run from late June to late July. Only students who are available during that time frame and whose records match these criteria should apply.

Students interested in applying to the 2021 Virginia Summer Residential Governor’s (SRGS) programs must complete the academic or the visual and performing arts interest form no later than November 9, 2020. No late applications are accepted.

The Academic Interest Form is available for the Schools for Humanities, Math/Science/Technology, Medicine/Health, Agriculture, Engineering, and Marine Science.

The Visual and Performing Arts Interest Form is available for the dance, instrumental music, theatre, visual art, and vocal music programs.

This Week! Parenting in the Pandemic

Students nationwide have reported struggling with mental health during the pandemic. The PTSA is hosting a virtual presentation, Parenting During the Pandemic, on Thurs, Nov 12 at 12-1 pm to help Langley parents help their kids during this time. McLean-based psychotherapist Jennifer Weaver will speak, offering insights into the range of heightened challenges including depression, loneliness, lack of motivation, anxiety or lack of impulse control that teens may be facing during the pandemic. She'll explain why teens may be keeping these feelings to themselves, and how parents can best support them during this time. Click here to join the presentation on Nov 12.
