BRVGS Applications for 8th Graders - please feel free to share this info with anyone interested in the BRVGS application process. 

  • The BRVGS application process for entry into BRVGS in the 2022-23 school year will begin on Friday, October 1st.  At that time, the link to our online application, which is posted to our website at www.brvgs.k12.va.us, will be made "live" and will begin accepting submissions.  

  • BRVGS is currently working with local school divisions to set up parent information nights for each of our member school districts.  Meetings that have been scheduled so far can be seen by clicking here.  This document will be updated as meeting dates and times are established in each locality.  

  • In addition to local information nights, BRVGS will hold two separate program-wide virtual information nights at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, October 12th and Wednesday, October 20th.  The meetings will present the same information as local parent meetings, and will provide opportunities for questions.  The link for both meetings is meet.google.com/bse-foad-rmz.  One of the meetings will also be recorded for those unable to tune in for the live meetings or local meetings, and a link to that recording will be posted on our website.  

  • For now, parents can find information about BRVGS and the application process at: https://sites.google.com/brvgs.k12.va.us/brvgs-info-2021.  Please contact BRVGS Director Marc Carraway at mcarraway@brvgs.k12.va.us for questions regarding the application process.
