Do students have to attend the Governors School the entire six weeks?
Yes. If a student accepts the invitation to attend the Governor’s School, he/she must agree to attend for the entire six weeks. (NOTE: Any student who does not stay until the closing session on the last day will not receive a Governor’s School certificate, nor be permitted to use the Governor’s School experience on college and scholarship applications.) Students are not excused to attend school, family, or community events (i.e., camps, competitions, reunions, etc.). On rare occasions students may be excused for events of great urgency that cannot be rescheduled. Such requests may only be submitted after the student selection process.
