The curriculum focuses on the exploration of the most recent ideas and concepts in each discipline, and does not involve credits, tests, or grades. Laura Parrott, AIG Coordinator, said the Governor’s School program has a rich tradition of providing students with the opportunity to learn from experts in an interactive environment. “Faculty and staff are drawn from bright, dedicated teachers and professionals across the country, from public and private schools, colleges and universities, and independent artists and scholars,” said Parrott. “To attend is a high honor and one that we acknowledge with pride.”
The Governor’s School program, which is open
predominately to rising seniors, but also rising juniors in some areas, is
located on two campuses: Governor's School West at Salem College in Winston-Salem
and Governor's School East at Meredith College in Raleigh.
