🔬 One of the few specialized public residential high schools of its kind, the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science & Mathematics (GSSM) @scgssm exists to push motivated young learners beyond their perceived levels of academic ability. Founded in 1988 under the leadership of the late Governor Carroll Campbell, GSSM has consistently raised the bar for STEM education in the Palmetto State. GSSM’s two-year residential high school program—as well as its virtual high school program, summer camps, and outreach programs—all invite young people to explore the subjects they love in a diverse, inclusive, and uncommonly supportive academic environment. Here, challenge is viewed as a gateway to opportunity. GSSM students embrace the school’s rigorous approach to education and in so doing begin to realize their full potential. Be sure to give our friends over at @scgssm a follow! . . . . . . #southcarolina #governorsschool #stem #stemeducation #stemforkids #education #childhoodeducation #mathematics #young #youngadult #stemeducationforkids #highschool #academic #gssm #student #studygram #k12academics (at South Carolina Governor's School for Science and Mathematics) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQL4_tOt-d/?utm_medium=tumblr

Listening to my CD from the two GSW concerts last summer and missing it a lotttttttt. So much awesome (although hard) music. Which is probably why I now have an obsession with contemporary minimalist music for synthesizer...

One of the best sights in the the world! Can't wait! #gse2k12 #gse #governorsschool #ncgs

To me, that is enough to make my day terrible.
