AVID Enables More Students to Achieve Their Dreams
VIDEOS: What is AVID
We know what you're thinking. What does AVID even stand for? The acronym stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID). The AVID system can empower your child by instilling the academic and social skills needed to successfully complete college and become responsible participants and leaders in our global society.
What happens in the AVID program?
Students receive academic instruction in writing, note-taking, studying, test-taking, and organizing.
They also receive academic support from Academic Coaches/tutors or Peer Tutors through collaborative tutorial groups and peer counseling. AVID goes above and beyond to motivate students to pursue academic excellence through goal setting, rigorous courses, cultural and collegiate field trips, classroom speakers, and AVID team-building activities.
