There are always a lot of questions about whether a specialty center is right for you. Our CBG School Counselor, Ashley Pospahala and our CBG Coordinator, George Fohl will be available to talk with your child if they have any questions about what each center offers. Please click on the link above to find Admission Documents and Calendars for the Specialty Center Fairs and Open Houses. There are many opportunities to visit and learn more about each center in your 7th and 8th grade year if you think you may be interested.
Applications for the County Specialty Centers and the Governor's Schools are available on October 15th. The Governor's Schools applications must be obtained from our guidance office while the County Specialty Center applications can be printed from the website above.
Appplications are due to our school's guidance counseling department by December 1st so our 8th graders will be busy in the next few months.
Specialty Center Fairs- This is a night where you get to visit with students and parents from each Chesterfield County Specialty Center and the two Governor's Schools (Maggie L. Walker and Appomattax) . Each school will have a table set up with information to share and students will be ready to answer your questions. It's very informal and typically you'll spend about 10 minutes at each school's table depending on your interest. It's a great way to get an overview of the many Specialty Centers that are available to your child.
Governor's Schools Information Sessions- These evenigs will be held at a local middle school or at each Governor's School for parents/students on the dates listed below. A representative from MLWGS or ARGS will be at the schools to share information about the school/program and will be able to answer questions. You are welcome to attend any session.
Maggie L. Walker Governor's School (MLWGS)
October 19, 2015 @ 6pm at Carver MS (specifically for Matoaca MIddle School)
October 29, 2015 @ 6 pm at Swift Creek MS
November 4, 2015 @ 6 pm at Robious MS
November 11, 2015 @ 6:30pm at Maggie L. Walker
Appomattax Regional Governor's School (ARGS)
November 5, 2015 @ 6:30ppm at Appomattax
Open Houses- This is a more formal and in-depth evening to get information on each specific school. It's a great opportunity to help your child decide how they feel about that school's academic program, extracurricular opportunites and school environment. I recommend going to the Open House for each school your child is truly interested in. Both Chesterfield County Public Schools and Governor's Schools have Open Houses. The dates can be found through the link at the top of the page.
Good luck!
