AVID Curriculum

AVID 9 and 10

AVID 9 is a year-long elective course designed to prepare students for college readiness and success. The curriculum includes tutor-led study groups, motivational activities, organizational support, and academic success skills.

The mission of the AVID 10 elective course is to prepare students for college readiness and success by refining AVID strategies, fostering academic skills, and exploring college and career opportunities, ultimately empowering students to achieve academic excellence.

Tutorials

Tutorials are small, student-led group sessions where students work collaboratively to address questions and deepen their understanding of core content, fostering inquiry and critical thinking skills.

Organization

In the AVID program, binders serve as a crucial organizational tool for students to manage their learning materials, notes, and assignments, fostering better organization and preparation for college and career readiness.

Collaboration

Collaboration in AVID 10 is essential for building teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills. Working together helps students support one another, deepen understanding, and prepare for college and career success.

AVID 11 and 12

The AVID 11 curriculum continues to advance the academic and interpersonal skills that are developed in the 9th and 10th grade courses. Additionally, in this course, we begin shifting our focus more directly on college and career planning. Students will research colleges and career paths that fit their needs while also beginning to apply for scholarships.

AVID 12 is a college and career readiness elective for seniors focused on refining academic skills, building strong study and organizational habits, and preparing for post-secondary success. Through collaborative study groups, real-world research projects, and goal-setting activities, students gain the confidence and tools needed for their next chapter.

ACT Preparedness

Students will practice timed writing as well as general test-taking strategies to prepare for the ACT in the spring. The ACT, though just one measure of a student's success, can open many doors for students when it comes to scholarships and college acceptance.

Service Learning

Students will understand the value of service to their community through a research-based service learning project they work on collaboratively. The class may implement a project that is developed by a group of students to benefit the greater community.

Writing College Essays

Students will end their junior year with a completed draft of their college essays so they are ready to apply in the fall. We will work collaboratively to write and revise our essays so that students can make the best case for themselves as they begin to apply for colleges.
