MCHS AVID Application Form 2020-2021
AVID PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

Advancement Via Individual Determination, AVID, is an elementary through post-secondary program that prepares students in high school for admission to a four-year college or university. Students can take an AVID elective course throughout middle school and high school that provides them with the skills needed to be successful in advancing academically with the ultimate goal of attending college. For more than 40 years AVID has been instrumental in preparing students for success in higher education.

The core component of the AVID Program is the AVID elective, which supports students as they challenge themselves in more rigorous classes. Students are taught study skills, note taking, time management, writing and research skills, while being immersed in a college-going culture. The class also includes tutoring sessions that are led by students and provide support for success in the academically rigorous curriculum. Additionally, the AVID class provides access to information about colleges and universities through field trips, guest speakers, college tutors, scholarship opportunities and college admission requirement information.

AVID recruits students who are motivated to do well and who are serious about their academic future. Based on grade point average, recommendation and state test results, we feel that your child may be an ideal candidate for the AVID program and has been selected to participate in the recruitment process.
