There are three sites linked to the Chesapeake Bay Governor's School: Bowling Green site, located at the Caroline County School Board building; Glenns site, located at Rappahannock Community College's Glenns campus; and Warsaw Site, also located at Rappahannock Community College's Warsaw campus.

The sites generally remain separate, however there are occasional "all-site" days where students from all three sites are able to join collectively to perform an activity, often an educational field trip.

School clubs frequently participate in neighborhood projects. All community service and credits must be completed by graduation to be recognized and to receive the Community Service Award.
