The AVID Mission Statement AVID's mission is to close the opportunity gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. AVID's systemic approach is designed to support students and educators as they increase schoolwide/districtwide learning and performance.
AVID Elementary is the foundational component of ACRS that provides sequential, progressive student success skills and is embedded throughout the academic day. In AVID Elementary students’ skills are strengthened using ongoing “Student Success Skills.” These skills include listening, speaking, writing, self-advocacy, note-taking, critical thinking, study, and organization. Students learn organizational tools and practice skills around management and goal-setting.

AVID Secondary (grades 6-12) is an essential component of the AVID College Readiness Systems. AVID’s proven instructional methodologies and best practices in content classes will improve outcomes for all students. The “AVID Elective” affects the entire campus/district by creating a college-going culture that increases the number of students who enroll and succeeds in higher education. The “AVID Elective” targets students with a grade point average ranging from 2.0 to 3.5 who have the desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard. AVID requires students to enroll in rigorous courses that are appropriate for them. In AVID Secondary, organizational and study skills develop critical thinking skills and students receive academic help from peers and college tutors.
