To be considered, applicants must demonstrate creativity in academic or creative fields, possess above average ability in a particular discipline area, display a high degree of self-motivation and meet or exceed the intellectual, social, and emotional maturity required to thrive in an environment that emphasizes theoretical and process-related learning.
“We are so proud that Grant and Ashley will be representing our school and have the opportunity to showcase their individual talents,” says Northwest Arkansas Classical Academy Headmaster Susan Provenza. “On average, only one kid per school gets in (if any), so given our small size, it's pretty amazing that we have two students accepted!”
The Arkansas Governor’s School began in 1980 as a program for gifted and talented students who are upcoming high school seniors and residents of the state of Arkansas. The program, funded by the Arkansas State Legislature, challenges students to develop the rigorous creative and intellectual skills that will be critical to their leading the ideal "life well lived" and for making positive contributions to their communities and to society at large.
