The Massanutten Regional Governor's School is one of Virginia's 18 state-initiated magnet Governor's Schools, located in Mt. Jackson, in Shenandoah County. It is a part-time school where 11th and 12th grade students take advanced classes in the morning (receiving their remaining classes from their home high school.) The well-publicized rigorous curriculum centers on pressing environmental issues, while incorporating statistical analysis. The education methodology at this magnet school centers on problem-solving and pragmatism in the "real world," while also tackling the ethical and moral conundrums surrounding these often hot-button issues. By taking classes at both Massanutten Regional Governor's School and a home high school, students at Massanutten Regional Governor's School retain ties, such as club involvement and class ranking, to their home institution.
