Twenty-three APS students were invited to attend the Summer Residential Governor’s School for Academics, Mentorship, Visual and Performing Arts and World Language Academies.
Summer Residential Governor’s Schools provide gifted high school juniors and seniors in Virginia with intensive educational experiences in one special area of interest in visual and performing arts; humanities; mathematics, science, and technology; or through mentorships in marine science, medicine and health sciences, or engineering. Summer Residential World Language Academies include full-immersion academies in French, German and Spanish; a partial-immersion Japanese Academy; and a Latin Academy.
Due to the current circumstances with the COVID-19 pandemic, the summer World Language Academies will operate in virtual formats. Some Academic programs, VIMS (marine Science) and Engineering (JLAB), will operate virtually with reduced numbers. The Visual and Performing Arts programs are canceled.
