  • Comment: @AngusWOOF: These indeed appear to be two separate high schools. Both Green Run Collegiate and Green Run High are separately listed on the school district's website. Unfortunately I don't have the time to review the draft right now; would you mind reverting the "declined as a duplicate" review? Huon (talk) 22:18, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

History

In Virginia Beach, a public charter must be approved by the School Board but the responsibility for staffing and oversight of daily operations is guided by the GRC Governing Board. [7]

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.[9]
