Math Analysis is here! :)

Is humanities (English 10) a dual enrollment class or just humanities 2 (English 11)?

Both are DE

Okay, thank you.

Is Colleigate Chemistry DE

Yes

Yes

Is Math Analysis DE?

thanks

Math Analysis is not dual enrolled.

Okay, thank you.

We do not dual enroll Math Analysis. Our students dual enroll Statistics, Calculus 1 and Calculus 2/3 which gives them lots of math credits.

If a freshman student is currently enrolled in the dual-school cyber security program, does attendance at MVGS accommodate that, or should that be considered an alternative to MVGS? Thx.

Looking at the pre-requisites and co-requisites for 10th grade, would the student need to be currently enrolled in Biology their 9th grade year to be considered?

9th or 10th

Okay thank you

The cyber security program compatibility would probably depend on scheduling.

We would need to see what the courses are that are dual enrolled. Many schools call cyber security computer science, but they are not CS courses. We don't have many high schools dual enrolling computer science courses.

Students do not need to have taken Bio already as 9th graders.

Would students enrolled in 10th grade need to reapply for 11th and 12th?

No

No

We expect that current students will finish the program.

Does MVG work with Current IEP’S?

Yes.

We follow all state and federal education guidelines.

Approximately how many student apply to the program each year?

So the acts of kindness program covers the volunteer work that they can show on college applications

Applications vary depending on the district.

Humanities 12 is DE - 6 credits

And Humanities 12 covers the US Government high school requirement.

I have been tracking student volunteer time with Acts of Kindness that Warrenton Campus has completed in the community. I am willing to sign off on volunteer hours based on the base school and NHSS willingness to accept the volunteer activities.

On the high school transcript it will not show as an AP class?

No

Though typically it will be weighted

Government requirements for VDOE are met in Humanities 12.

No, but it will show as DE on their LFCC transcript, and each student gets an explanatory letter in their transcript that explains the MVGS curriculum and expectations.

Colleges are very familiar with the Virginia Governor's School System.

Ok, Thanks

Do MVGS students get a reduced DE credit rate?

Yes

25% the cost of normal rates typically

For 11th grade enrollees, can they take the college chemistry as an elective or do they take at their home school?

Which is much cheaper than a typical university

It's not reduced compared to any other DE student, but it is reduced compared to typical LFCC tuition.

Id the schedule can fit to take Chem we can make it work

If*

Perfect thanks

The student who completes the program will get an associate degree only after they give the AP exam for ENG 111 or ENG 112?

Or take it with LFCC or dual enrolled at the base school

They need ENG credits, and the AP exam score above a 3 helps them get that.

We don't DE for ENG; we DE for HUM.

as per my understanding without the ENG credit they dont get an associate degree?

Correct

Though the credits are the valuable thing.

There are other paths to getting that credit, but we do have a very high success rate on the AP Eng Lang exam.

Is there a cost for MVG?

No

Thank you for clarifying everything.

But if you want to dual enrolled then you would pay for that

Do they graduate from their Hs? Walk with their base high school class?

No. No cost to attend. If you choose to dual enroll you will need to pay tuition.

MVGS is a public school paid for by your tax dollars. DE is a service we offer, but it's not required.

You do not need to dual enroll

Yes they walk with the HS

Who is the best POC to discuss individual questions unique to our student to determine best options?

Students graduate via their base schools, wearing their MVGS medallions.

Kelly, my daughter attended private school up to high school, and doesn't have any existing SOL or standardized test scores (outside of ERBs for her middle school). What is the process for her needing to test in order to apply?

Students pay 25% tuition to dual enroll with all of our public school divisions and MVGS.

Jonathan - please email me. I will give you the contact info for the GT coordinator in your division.

If I wanted to get my associates while still in high school, would MVGS be the best option for obtaining that?

dwilmore@mvgshome.org

Once accepted for 10th grade, do you have to enroll each year and be accepted or are you already accepted for 11th and 12th?

I would say yes, that is the best option

You stay the whole 3 years

You're accepted for the entire program.

Will we be given the test this year if we plan on applying?

What is the average cost of the 25%?

Jillian - many of our students graduate with an associates degree with approximately 2 extra lfcc credtis.

Joel - once accepted, we expect students to complete the program for all 3 (or 2 if coming in as an 11th grader). So they do not need to re-apply

A 3-credit course is generally close to $500. Students pay approximately $167 or thereabouts.

Thank you!

Crystal - this year the tuition was about $41 per credit. Please email me and I am happy to send an "average" dual enrollment tuition per year. dwilmore@mvgshome.org.

thanks!

Who would be to talk about specific questions Humanities 10

Does this affect a students ability to participate in sports at base school?

Rebecca, You can contact myself of Mrs. Stephens, depending on which campus your child might attend.

*or

Rueaa - are you asking about placement tests?

Many students can still play sports and clubs, though budgeting time and cost/benefit will come down to the student and ability

Community service is done through MVGS or base school

Hawari - community service for NHA is probably done through both.

Thanks

I'm not sure if that's what it's called. But it's the test that's given to students who apply to MVGS, and it's one of the factors that's looked at.

How do VGS students participate in clubs? Most of the school clubs meet during A+ time in the morning.

Rueaa - please email me and I will give you the contact information for your GT coordinator. dwilmore@mvgshome.org.

If a student is currently in Geometry, can they be accepted into MVGS? Or would they have to take Algebra 2 first and then apply?

That would depend on the base school and what the family would value

Teresa, That depends on the campus and the base school. They all have different schedules. We do offer our own clubs, as well (STEAM groups).

Teresa - that would be worked out with Ms. Huff.

Algebra 2 is required

Okay, thank you!

What is the Criteria for acceptance into the program?

Does any Algebra 2 course work or does it have to be Algebra 2 Advanced?

Any algebra 2 I believe

Estefany - in certain situations, there are options for getting your math credits. Please email me: dwilmore@mvgshome.org

The application packet is mail by the school counceling department, correct?

does MV accept a certain number of students from each base school?

What is the Criteria for acceptance into the program?

When is first day of school and when it last…I know it does not alone with base school

Align

Michael H: please email me at dwilmore@mvgshome.org

What is the nightly homework expectation?

We usually start in early August.

Is there a breakdown of how many seats each county pays for?

Laurie: we are working on our calendar but you can find this year's calendar at www.mvgshome.org

Can Ms Susan Campbell provide her email address ? thank you

Scampbell@ccpsweb.org

Thank you .

Each course assigns homework according to our credit hours and rigor, and that varies, but we do have a nice break between days homework is due, which our students appreciate (Monday homework isn't due until Thursday; Tuesday homework isn't due until Friday, etc...).

Nightly homework expectation varies with classes, but each class meets only 2x a week, so students have sufficient time between assignments.

Hawari: you should be able to get the application from your counseling department or on your school division website

Please let me know if you have quesitons. Frederick County Public Schools - Supervisor of Gifted Services & Libraries - Dr. Judi Greathouse - greatho@fcpsk12.net

For the essay, how should we cite which document we used?

Is it possible to get a copy of the meeting?

Is it possible to earn above a 4.0 GPA at this school?

Thank you so much all of you for the information

We don't have a GPA

What is the Criteria for acceptance into the program?

This is gonna be hard to remember

All grades are at the base school

Each district handles GPA differently, so that will depend on how your district weights classes.

We are recording the meeting. Please contact dwilmore@mvgshome.org for a copy.

Patricia: slots depend on how many students are currently enrolled from the school division. We encourage everyone to apply.

GPA is dependent on whether the base school weights our courses due to DE/AP. Most do. Check with your school counselor

Ammad: Each school division has a selection committee that determines the best candidates.

We hve the application. SOme teachers already filled out the recommendations, My question is, once the application packet is complete, do we give it to the base school to mail to MVGS, or do we mail it ?

Hannah: Most of our school divisions weight some or most of MVGS classes.

Your application will be turned in to your base school.

@Li - APA style if this is what you are asking.

Thanks

Thank you

to know what the committee look for should I contact my school couselor?

Ammad: email me and I will give you a contact person. dwilmore@mvgshome.org

ok thank you .

Anyone who emails me, please include your school division.

Okay, thank you.

Our LHS student is Student Athletic Trainer as well!!

Is it possible to pick up Math Analysis over the summer?

Concerning the application process, should the recommendations be sent directly to the base school or should all pieces of the application be sent to MVGS together?

Anything is possible, but we'd prefer you take Math Analysis with us during the year.

We do Math Analysis here at MVGS

Some students do come in with Math Analysis already, and I know it is offered in the summer at some programs, but you would want to make sure the summer Math Analysis is robust.

Your application goes to your base school.

If you don't apply, you won't be considered for acceptance!

Got it. Thanks.

We cover two math analysis classes not only one, so it's not recommended to take Math Analysis over the summer.

Thank you for an informative meeting. You have a wonderful program!

We had three MVGS students go to Princeton this fall, one is a runner and the other plays softball. The third is the Queen of Computer Science.

Teresa: Thank you!

Actually, 4 went to Princeton this past year

You all have been extremely helpful

Thank you!

Thank you for answering all of my questions.

My 9th grade student is considering the program. Should we start by talking with our base school counselor?

The classes say they have to be there by 7:30. Does that mean we have to be at the bus stop earlier than normal school?

Thank you

This was very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for all the information.

Very informative meeting. Thank you so much.

Thank you!

Thank you !!

Thank you!!
