The Commonwealth of Virginia and Governor Timothy M. Kaine have for numerous occurrence been inspiriting Virginia Schools glorious academy students to payoff more rigorous homework. The Governor recently announced the aeronaut Commonwealth Scholars Program and substance solicit votes to highlight this earnestness to aptness in Virginia's youth.
Eleven divisions inside the Virginia schools ab initio will share in the new program. The hunted exact work goes elapsed the stripped-down culmination requirements for a Standard Diploma, but waterfall downwards the school development work requirements for an Advanced Studies Diploma. Students who through the center homework nether the Virginia schools program will be recognizable as Commonwealth Scholars at closing and worthy to acquire a signal credentials holdfast that recognizes their action. Instructional structure will be provided to all students who assist.
A two-year, $300,000 State Scholars Initiative compromise from the U.S. Department of Education pecuniary resource the Commonwealth Scholars Program. Virginia schools were one of 8 states chosen in a political unit challenge to join in the national allow program.

The Virginia Career Education Foundation, a broad company and lessons partnership, will lead the Virginia schools inaugural. They will trade next to participating university divisions to improve partnerships next to local businesses and to forward the system of rules. Private sector volunteers will be disciplined to brand presentations to the students, engrossment on how the rigorous high school courses will increase their post-high academy vocation opportunities.
The Commonwealth Scholars Program is based on a midpoint range of survey that includes:
o Four years of English;
o Three age of calculation - Algebra I and II, and geometry;
o Three old age of science - biology, chemical science and physics;
o Three and half age of communal studies - elect from United States and Virginia history, global history, geography, economic science and business literacy, United States and Virginia government;
o Two age of vigour and corporal education; and
o Two geezerhood of vocalizations another than English.
Research has shown that here is a industrial-strength correlativity between the researcher rigorousness of elevated institution work taken and postsecondary amount pass completion. One representative is scientific discipline - 40 pct of students who took Algebra II in graduate university earned a bachelor's degree, as compared to solitary 23 percent of old pupils who stopped fetching soaring conservatory mathematics at geometry.
Governor Kaine has self-confidence that the new Commonwealth Scholars Program will buoy plentiful Virginia schools students to disseminate onto college after graduation. He has down thrown the gantlet and issued a dare to those Virginia schools students who are not on track for an Advanced Studies Diploma. His anticipation is that they will achieve complex and assay to decision from good organization to eminence.
