AVID
AVID, Advancement via Individual Determination, is a college readiness system that is designed to increase school wide learning and performance. Through research based teaching strategies, AVID focuses on building the students' writing, inquiry, collaborative, organizational and reading skills.
Students who enroll in AVID are required to enroll in and complete at least one advanced placement course each year (ex. Pre-AP, AP, Dual Credit). AVID supports this increased challenge with specialized tutoring and lessons. AVID also helps ensure students, once accepted to college, possess the higher-level skills they need for college success. As students progress in AVID, their self-esteem images improve, and they become academically successful leaders and role models for other students.
