Charleston ECHS AVID
AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a college readiness program designed to help students develop the skills they need to be successful in college. The program places special emphasis on growing writing, critical thinking, teamwork, organization and reading skills. Here at Early College High School, AVID is the driving force of all classes. Every students will be in an AVID elective class every year. Our belief is we are teaching the students the tools needed to be successful in their college classes at Trident Technical College as they earn their Associates Degree as well as in their high school classes.
