Shenandoah Valley Governor's School

SVGS serves approximately 200 gifted and talented 11th and 12th grade students from Augusta County, Staunton and Waynesboro. Twelve full-time and numerous part-time adjunct instructors work with the students. SVGS is a program for gifted, talented and highly motivated students. Students choose one of two parallel programs, MST (mathematics, sciences, and technology) or AH (arts, humanities), which offers concentrations in Visual or Theater Arts. The STEM program requires students to complete a minimum of three (3) credits each year, at least one course in each of the core areas. Students may choose an additional credit as an optional independent study. Our mission is to inspire and empower our community to learn, create and serve.
