Program Overview and Application for Admission 2021-22

Application Due Date: February 1, 2021

Program Description: The Governor’s School @ Innovation Park offers selected juniors and seniors from Manassas City, Manassas Park, and Prince William County an advanced and intensive program in STEM – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Students selected to attend the two-year program will attend classes at George Mason University’s Prince William Campus each morning. At that campus, students will follow a sequence of courses designed to integrate mathematics and research with specializations in biology, chemistry, or physics. Students will select which strand (biology, chemistry, or physics) they wish to pursue for the two-year study. Along with specifically designed coursework in that strand, students will be provided intensive study in mathematics that supports their scientific and research endeavors. Students will be placed initially in Advanced Mathematics Models or Calculus I based upon a mathematics assessment on February 27 and February 28, 2021. Students return to their base high schools each afternoon to complete other requirements for graduation. A unique feature of the program is–– its emphasis on research. All students will come together in certain STEM electives to design and conduct original research. Students, working across strands, will integrate their knowledge and perspectives to design, conduct, and report their research exactly as scientists at major universities, such as GMU, do. To help students understand the importance of their research and the engineering applications of their learning, each student will complete a mentorship working with STEM professionals on specific projects. As a continuously accelerated model, only rising juniors may enter this program. Applicants must be aware that participation in this program carries with it the expectation that registration for courses at their base high school will be restricted. It is strongly recommended that they take the following courses prior to applying for GS@IP:

Science Mathematics Requirement Electives

Biology (pre-AP level,

or pre-IBDP level, or IGCSE level

scores, GPA & teacher recommendation. No single assessment disqualifies a student from review. Each school division makes its own

decisions about eligibility, but all three school divisions use the same criteria and application process. Students found eligible by the

school system must be vetted by George Mason University before final acceptance into the program.

Students should complete the full application and submit the signed document to Karima Wesselhoft no later than February 1, 2021.

Students must submit a detailed research project that incorporates all aspects of the research design used in the field.

For reference, students should review the information at the following Web sites:

https://student.societyforscience.org/international-rules-pre-college-science-research. Students should submit both the

oral presentation component (usually in the form of a PowerPoint presentation) as well as the complete written

component of the research project. If the oral presentation has not been given, a PowerPoint that would be given may

be submitted. One (1) copy of the written document must be provided in the student’s portfolio.
