Program Overview

AVID is an academic encore class comprised of over 200 students. 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, teambuilding and college and career exploration. AVID students are mentored on their academic strengths and weaknesses and facilitate small group tutorials with their peers.
