AVID Application 2024-2025
Dear Families,

Students can learn valuable skills that help them prepare for high school and beyond with a class called Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID).  AVID is an elective class that meets every day of the school year in grades 6-12.  Students focus on writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading (WICOR).  

AVID is a program for students who:
Are in the academic middle
Have a strong desire to do the work necessary to go to a post-secondary institution

AVID students visit college campuses, participate in community service, and are involved in school-wide activities.  Students also develop positive peer relationships, learn to advocate for themselves, and improve self-awareness.

Students are given support to be successful in rigorous courses. Tutors are in the AVID class twice per week to facilitate collaborative learning groups that help students better understand coursework and develop higher-level thinking skills.  

In AVID, students are expected to:
Use an agenda or planner
Keep their school materials organized
Take notes in all classes
Maintain a “C” average or better in all classes
Participate in advanced level courses

Thank you for your interest in AVID!
