High school students who are committed to their own education and have a passion for mathematics and science are excellent candidates for the Tennessee Governor’s Academy for Mathematics and Science, the premier residential program in the state. Students who want an educational experience that focuses on inquiry, investigation, and research will find like-minded peers at TGA.
The mission of TGA is to provide a challenging educational opportunity for students seeking to pursue studies in science and mathematics. Our goal is to increase the number of students in Tennessee pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by providing advanced coursework and research opportunities.
Students at the Academy are selected from across the state and are expected to be prepared to positively contribute to our demanding and dynamic learning community. Governor Phil Bredesen, in partnership with the University of Tennessee, is dedicated to creating the most interesting and challenging learning environment possible in order to create global citizens who will make contributions in STEM fields that will benefit not only the state of Tennessee, but also reach the world.
Do you love to learn? Are science and math subjects you find interesting and can relate to? Would you rather figure something out than be told the answer? Are you currently a high school sophomore residing in Tennessee? Then perhaps the Tennessee Governor’s Academy is the right place for you to close out the last two years of your high school career. Please explore this website, if this opportunity sounds interesting to you.
