AVID is not just another program…
at its heart,
AVID is a philosophy
Hold students accountable to the highest standards,
provide academic and social support, and they will rise to the challenge.
Why AVID?
- Teaches skills and behaviors for academic success
- Provides intensive support with tutorials and strong student/teacher relationships
- Creates a positive peer group for students
- Develops a sense of hope for personal achievement gained through hard work and determination
As a result, policymakers and educators now consider AVID's mission to be an essential strategy for closing the achievement gap, making college access and success available to all students.
