AVID

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), is an elementary through postsecondary college readiness system that is designed to increase school-wide learning and performance. AVID’s mission is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. The AVID system accelerates student learning, uses research-based methods of effective instruction, and provides meaningful and motivational professional development for teachers, to help them support students. Although AVID serves all students, it focuses on the least served students in the academic middle, who have college potential, but who require additional coaching and tutoring to succeed.  Participation in the AVID Program requires students to attend an AVID elective class, where organizational and academic support, as well as college planning and awareness, are central to the program. AVID is a nationally-recognized program, with a proven record of success at preparing students for college and university admissions.
