The Blue Ridge Virtual Governor’s School is a unique entity in the Commonwealth of Virginia, in that we are one of the only Governor’s Schools to exist as a “virtual” school. Rather than bringing our students together each day to a common location, we bring students together through a shared curriculum, interactive technology, frequent collaboration and shared experiences. It is through these unconventional learning activities that our students prepare themselves for success in the world beyond high school. The Blue Ridge Virtual Governor's School (BRVGS) is an academic year governor's school that provides a challenging and differentiated program of studies in core academic subjects, emphasizing mathematics, science, and technology. The program utilizes interactive technology, field trips, student collaboration and team teaching to create a regional community of learners from the counties of Fluvanna, Goochland, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, and Orange. The aim of the program is to provide students with instruction in those skills necessary for success beyond high school, and to give individual students with both responsibility and freedom in their learning endeavors.
