The Governor's School @ Innovation Park program is a collaboration between PWCS and George Mason University's Prince William Campus. It is designed for students who are very strong in Math (ready for Calculus in grade 11), passionate about science, and eager for the opportunity to do original research in university level facilities. Interested students should go directly to the official page for How To Apply to GS@IP (opens in a new tab). The application typically opens in early to mid-November and is due at the beginning of February (just like other HS Specialty Program transfer applications).
