Program Overview

AVID is an academic encore class compromised of 121 students.  Students who are interested in the AVID program can apply and participate in the interview and selection process.  All students are selected based on the AVID criteria and available spots.

AVID is designed to provide academic support to students "in the middle in order to prepare them for eligibility to four-year colleges and universities."  During the AVID elective, students focus on writing, reading, inquiry, collaboration and organization while engaging in higher level thinking, team building, and college exploration.  AVID students are mentored on their academic strengths and weaknesses throughout the week and facilitate small group tutorials with their peers.
