Why AVID?
What AVID is...
What AVID is...
A program for "upper-to-middle" academic students. These students have the potential for honors/AP/IB work, but need academic support paired with rigor.
AVID combines rigor with support that includes each student's individual determination & the support of teachers & other AVID students.
What AVID is not...
What AVID is not...
an "at risk" program. It is designed to support students who would not otherwise attend and graduate from a 4-year university to do just that.
for students who fail to complete any of their homework.
for students who consistently earn "D"s & "F"s in their coursework.
for unmotivated students. AVID students must have individual determination.
