The Chesapeake Bay Governor’s School provides an educational option for high-ability and gifted students interested in math, science, and technology. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors from fourteen participating school divisions in the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck regions in Virginia attend the Governor’s School during the morning at one of three sites: RCC-Glenns Campus, RCC-Warsaw Campus, or Bowling Green in Caroline County. King George County Students attend the Bowling Green site. Students will ride a bus to the site during blocks one and two of their schedule. Students will attend King George High School classes during blocks three and four.
CBGS is a demanding program that supplements King George High School course offerings by offering Dual Enrollment (DE) mathematics and science classes and a rich outdoor educational component.
CALENDAR AND TRANSPORTATION
The CBGS calendar does not align with the King George County Schools calendar. On days that CBGS is in session but KGCS is not, CBGS students are still expected to attend CBGS. On days CBGS is closed, but KGCS is open, students are still expected to attend KGCS. While these days are infrequent, they do happen. CBGS follows decisions made by Caroline County Schools regarding inclement weather, late openings, and closures. If Caroline County has a late opening, KGHS students do not report to CBGS.
Students are provided transportation to the Bowling Green Campus every day that CBGS operates regularly. Students are picked up at 7:30 from the King George High School main office entrance. When students arrive at King George High School, they check in with the attendance secretary in the main office. Students ride the bus to the Bowling Green Campus for their CBGS classes and return to King George High School in time to attend third and fourth block classes.
