Academics

The Governor's School at Christopher Newport University provides challenging course work that reinforces the importance of each individual discipline within the Humanities and Visual & Performing Arts. The course work also emphasizes the vital bond between the Humanities and Visual & Performing Arts. Each school provides its own courses as well as joining together to provide interdisciplinary course work. Cross-disciplinary and even exotic course work emerges from over one hundred workshops and recreations offered to students during Explorations throughout the summer. All students receive an opportunity to share their individual and collective course work with the other members of the Governor's School community of learners.
