AVID

Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) is offered for 9th-12th grade students. AVID is for students interested in pursuing education after high school, but not sure how to get there. AVID provides students the academic, social and emotional support to help them thrive not only in their rigorous classes, but also succeed in higher education and future endeavors. AVID is a home base for social emotional learning, routine, structure, and communication. Each AVID class also includes one work day a week (the other days consist of lessons and Tutorial sessions).  AVID’s mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.

AVID's Focus

·  Providing students a welcoming, safe and supportive learning environment.

·  Fostering the transition from being home with families to being at school with peers and teachers.

·  Re-teaching executive functioning, social skills, and face to face communication.

·  Easing students back into the rigorous school routine and helping them ramp up to their potential.

·  Helping students handle fears and gain independence.

·  Supporting students with the demands and expectations of high school.

·  Encouraging students to envision themselves in a post-secondary setting of trade schools, community college, universities, and careers.
