Gifted Atlanta

The Governor’s Honors Program is a highly regarded and highly selective summer program for students who are currently in 10th or 11th grade. The four-week program is held on the campus of Berry University in Rome and offers “academic, cultural and social enrichment.”

The program is funded by the State of Georgia, so selected students pay no tuition to attend.

To apply, a student must first be nominated by a teacher at their school, who teaches the subject area the student wants to study at GHP. Those nominations are due this fall.

Following the nomination process, students complete a rigorous application, after which they may be invited for interviews.

If your child is interested in GHP, they should reach out now to the GHP coordinator at their school. Home-schooled students should contact the GHP coordinator at the school they would be designated to attend if they were attending public school.
