Well, I've found that parents will do just about anything to give Johnny a leg up on the competition for sacred college admissions. Who cares what the program's about?
"Knowledge is good." (Motto on Faber College statue)
Do students have to attend the Governor's 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.)
May students go home on weekends?
No. Students must remain at the Governor's School through the weekends except the third weekend of the session when all students go home on Saturday and return on the following Tuesday evening.
What is the cost to students to attend the Governor's School?
The program is funded by the North Carolina General Assembly. Students furnish only their transportation to and from the campus and any spending money they may need.
