Governance

[edit | edit source]

As a public charter school, GRC can offer distinctive curriculum, develop its own school calendar and hold classes outside of the traditional school day. In Virginia Beach, a public charter must be approved by the School Board but the responsibility for staffing and oversight of daily operations is guided by the GRC Governing Board.[8]

School structure

[edit | edit source]

As of 2018, the student body is composed of 40% male and 60% female along with a 77% minority population. The total Economically Disadvantaged enrollment is 49%[9]

Admissions

[edit | edit source]

In its first year, the school admitted only ninth-grade students of Virginia Beach City Public Schools up to max 100 students. Subsequent years added more grades until four years were filled at a maximum of 400 students. If applications exceeded for that year, a lottery would be held.[6][10]

Curriculum

[edit | edit source]

As an International Baccalaureate or IB school they offer three pathways along with The Middle Years Program (MYP). In IB the three pathways are the Diploma Programme (DP) who pursues the IB diploma. The Diploma Course Candidate which takes a selection of IB classes without pursuing the diploma, and the Career-related Programme (CP) which takes IB classes and earns industry certification at either the Advanced Technology Center(ATC) or the Technical and Career Education Center.[10]

Extracurricular activities

Green Run Collegiate teamed up with Green Run High School on their NJROTC program.[14] In 2017 and 2018, the NJROTC team placed first at the Navy Nationals.[15][16] They placed second in the 2019 Navy Nationals.[17]
