- Brunswick County Public Schools take pride in a student-teacher ratio of 13 or better at all levels K-12. Our educational system is strongly linked to the Virginia Community College System through the VCCS TechPrep program. This program provides many free educational benefits to all public students through its dual enrollment capability and its gifted-student Governor’s School Program component. The dual enrollment program allows high school students to earn college credits by taking courses through SVCC while still in high school, and some students have actually completed two years of college while in high school.
