AVID at Trabuco Hills
Here at Trabuco Hills, AVID is a growing program for students who possess the motivation and the raw ability to succeed in high school and college. The goal of our program is to provide a targeted group of these already-capable students with the guidance and support they need to succeed not only at Trabuco Hills, but beyond their high school careers. AVID methodologies focus on writing, inquiry, collaboration, and reading. Several benefits await prospective AVID students. AVID is a “class community” composed of peers, teachers and peer tutors geared towards encouraging academic and personal success. AVID teachers coach students through high school course selection, high stakes test preparation, and college applications. As an integral part of the program, AVID students are guided through the college selection and application process, and are expected to apply to and potentially attend a four-year college.
