AVID Board Tape 2019 (1).mp4

Our Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) program provides students who have untapped potential with the additional skill sets that they need to get into college and excel in a higher-education environment.


Students must apply to the program. You must complete an application. The application process includes a teacher nomination (completed through a Google form), and a brief interview at a later date.


Once accepted, students participate in the following course components:

● Study skills, such as note-taking

● Learning to study in groups

● Academic writing

● Tutorials run by trained college students

● Preparation for meeting college entrance requirements and college visits

● Field trips and guest speakers


Socratic Seminars

Through a process of listening, making meaning, and finding common ground students work toward shared understanding.
