Virginia’s Academic-Year Governor’s Schools exist to provide gifted students a learning environment stimulating academic and artistic growth. These academic communities foster climates of inquiry, intellectual curiosity, risk-taking and innovation while providing opportunities to expand knowledge and develop advanced skills.

MISSION OF FOVGS

The mission of Friends of Virginia’s Governor’s Schools (FOVGS) is to promote the academic-year governor’s schools’ reputation for quality education and impressive achievement and to protect state funding for these schools. FOVGS pursues this mission by focusing on three strategies: 

  1. Increase the schools’ visibility at the General Assembly.
  2. Remain informed by tracking legislation and regulations impacting the schools.
  3. Demonstrate the value of each school’s positive impact in its community.
