What is AVID?
AVID, an acronym for Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a nationally recognized non-profit college readiness system with the mission to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.  For all high school students the instructional strategies in the AVID college readiness system are used schoolwide and emphasize writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, reading, and critical thinking.

To participate in the AVID Elective, students must apply and be accepted into the AVID program which targets middle-performing students and those who will be first generation college students who have the desire, academic potential, and determination to succeed in a rigorous high school curriculum; participate in extra-curricular activities; and apply to, enroll in, and graduate from a four-year college.

AVID provides academic monitoring, study and organization skills, tutorials, motivational talks, test prep, and help with college planning, applications, visitations, and financial aid searches.

The AVID Elective is a one-credit course paired for a full school year with a core content course. Students enrolled in AVID take the AVID Elective course every year.
