These learning tracks are called Institutes. Each Institute is unique and built around a single focus area.
All the Institutes are residential! So you live on a college campus and have access to all the resources the college provides (including state-of-the-art labs and studios). They’re all hands-on, intense bursts of learning and fun.
You and your new friends (who share your interest to explore topics in-depth with leading professionals in the field) have a chance to try something new, make lasting memories, and learn more than you could ever imagine.
Being nominated to attend the Governor’s Institutes is a great honor for your young person. As Vermont’s own accelerated enrichment program, GIV is designed to give Vermont’s brightest young stars a truly world-class experience with in-depth resources and top-notch professional mentoring.
