As a public charter school, GRC can offer distinctive curriculum, develop its own school calendar and hold classes outside of the traditional school day. 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.{{cite web|url=https://greenruncollegiate.vbschools.com/our_school|title=Our School | work=Green Run Collegiate | accessdate=April 10, 2019}}
