Established to educate students who are committed to their own education and have a passion for mathematics and science, the Tennessee Governor’s Academy for Mathematics and Science is the premier residential program in the state. Students at TGA recieve an educational experience that focuses on inquiry, investigation, and research.
The mission of TGA is to provide a challenging educational opportunity for students seeking to pursue studies in science and mathematics. Our goal is to increase the number of students in Tennessee pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by providing advanced coursework and research opportunities.
Students at the Academy were selected from across the state and are expected to be prepared to positively contribute to our demanding and dynamic learning community. Governor Phil Bredesen, in partnership with the University of Tennessee, is dedicated to creating the most interesting and challenging learning environment possible in order to create global citizens who will make contributions in STEM fields that will benefit not only the state of Tennessee, but also reach the world.
