Program Overview

AVID is an accelerated academic encore course comprised of over 120 students grades 6-8. Interested students apply and participate in the AVID interview process from which selections are made 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, relational capacity and college exploration. AVID students are mentored on their academic strengths and weaknesses and facilitate small group tutorials with their peers.
