Summer Residential Governor's Schools provide gifted and high-ability high school sophomores and juniors with intensive educational experiences in a variety of academic programs. Students selected to participate live on a university campus for up to four weeks during the summer. During this time, students are involved in classroom and laboratory work, field studies, research, individual and group projects and performances, and seminars with noted scholars and other professionals.
