Just wondering if there’s anyone who has been to NC Governor’s school and what they thought of the experience. I’ve read a lot of reviews from alumns but they literally all seem to be people who attended for music and not academics. I haven’t heard from a single person who attended for math (the subject that I applied to).
My daughter attended GSE last summer for Natural Sciences. She absolutely loved it! The focus is not on following a particular lesson plan, but on free-ranging discussions and exploring new areas. Even though you may attend in Math, the subject matter doesn’t make too much difference because students in all areas are interspersed for other classes and for activities. The experience is unlike any you are likely to experience at any other time in your life. There is no pressure to master a particular skill or do well on a particular test. I would highly recommend the experience. And Congratulations!
