Governor's School of South Carolina at The College of Charleston - Enrichment

Enrichment

As a supplement to their Subject Concentration and Global Issues classes, Governor’s Scholars have the opportunity to participate in many types of enrichment activities.

There are optional activities, including but not limited to: films, dances, beach trips, open-mic nights, game shows, and sports activities. There is an Annual Talent Show in which students, counselors, and faculty participate. In addition to these optional activities, there are “ANWaTGOOI’s,” or “Ain’t No WAy To Get Out Of It” activities. These may include lectures and panel discussions which address current, and often controversial, political and social issues. Presenters have included national and international writers, government officials, business representatives, journalists, and filmmakers.

Scholars are strongly encouraged to avail themselves of these enrichment opportunities, especially since they are very different from the types usually available in a high school setting. It is also through these activities, nearly all of which take place outside the classroom, that students participate and interact with other gifted and talented scholars from throughout the state.
