The content will change each year as students continue to grow in their knowledge but the basic structures will remain the same.
Two days per week students will receive instruction and activities in the AVID Curriculum. They will learn research and study skills and practice their inquiry, writing, and reading skills.
Two days per week students have tutorials with their peers, upperclassmen, and college students supervised by the AVID teacher. This allows them to receive the support they need in their academic classes and to build their collaboration skills.
One day per week students have support and enrichment opportunities. This may include binder checks, field trips, guest speakers, team building activities, or community service opportunities.
