AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. The program is based on the belief that any willing student can be taught the skills needed to take ownership of their own learning, to complete rigorous courses and be prepared for options like 2 and 4 year colleges, apprenticeships, technical colleges, and professional certificate programs.

AVID Schoolwide is designed to impact the leadership, systems, instruction and culture of a school to support high expectations and levels of achievement for all students. Teachers use AVID strategies to ensure students are actively engaged in writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization, and writing across all curriculums, AVID is an elective course for selected students & ALL students benefit because the strategies and expectations are school-wide & impact the learning and culture of the whole campus.

Students in the AVID Elective meet daily during the school day to get academic help, develop good learning habits, and contribute to a powerful support community. AVID is for students who are motivated to do well and could use extra support and structure to reach their full potential.
