Governance

As a public charter school, GRC can offer distinctive curriculum, develop its own school calendar and hold classes outside of the traditional school day.

As of 2018, the student body is composed of 40% male and 60% female along with a 77% minority population. The total Economically Disadvantaged enrollment is 49% [9]

Admissions

In its first year, the school admitted only ninth-grade students of Virginia Beach City Public Schools up to max 100 students. Subsequent years added more grades until four years were filled at a maximum of 400 students. If applications exceeded for that year, a lottery would be held. [6] [10]

Curriculum

As an International Baccalaureate or IB school they offer three pathways along with The Middle Years Program (MYP). In IB the three pathways are the Diploma Programme (DP) who pursues the IB diploma. The Diploma Course Candidate which takes a selection of IB classes without pursuing the diploma, and the Career-related Programme (CP) which takes IB classes and earns industry certification at either the Advanced Technology Center(ATC) or the Technical and Career Education Center. [10]

Extracurricular activities

Green Run Collegiate has partnered with the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art. [11] In 2017, they produced the Mindfully Cloaked exhibition on the topic of mental illness, creating several cloaks using mixed media. [12] Later in October 2018, the Chrysler Museum exhibited 100 Green Run Collegiate students artworks made from recyclable material to represent "sustainability and preservation". [13]

Green Run Collegiate operates on the Green Run High School campus as an independent school.

In June 2018, Green Run Collegiate received a $25,000 Lowe's SkillsUSA grant for the campus community garden, for the purpose of "raising awareness on affordable and sustainable eating." [18] [ importance? ]
